Bow River Water Management Project


Recommended Posts

The provincial government is rolling out the recommendations of an expert committee for improvements to the Bow River water management. See attached link to the press release this morning:

 

https://bowrivertrout.org/2017/08/11/bow-river-water-management-report/

 

Once implemented, the fishing community should see improvements in the management of the water resource that will hopefully lead to a better managed Bow River fishery.

Bit of a shame to see more and/or bigger dams being touted as beneficial to fish, but I guess we do live on a highly artificial stream already

 

 

Uber how long was the fish on to drop the photographer off and get the angle with the bridge... anywho back on topic

If it wasn't for the dams we would not have the fishery as it is today. More control of the water release and storage capacity will stabilizes the flows in and downstream of Calgary. Even with the high snow pack in the mountains this year, the current water management policy could not hold back sufficient reserve to meet the current drought conditions.

 

In other words, the dams upstream of Calgary are the lifeline for the Bow River fishery.
