scel Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Question for you Bow guys and gals... are the levels/flows any higher now than they were then? Not really. If I were to guess, water levels are lower now. However, back then, the reservoirs were dumped in early May, then there was no run-off. There was not really a heat wave like this summer, but the long days, and low water levels allowed the water temperatures to get dangerously high. Right now, the longer, relatively cool nights allow the rivers to cool down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Go here to check historic flows on the Bow. https://wateroffice.ec.gc.ca/report/historical_e.html?stn=05BH004 Years going back to well before TerryH was even a twinkle in his dad's eye. Current flow data is here. http://www.environment.alberta.ca/apps/basins/DisplayData.aspx?Type=Table&BasinID=8&DataType=1&StationID=RBOWCALG You can get lost in this data stuff very easily. Too bad more people don't pay attention to the past...most things we read about being "unprecedented" rarely are. Clive 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
