Just out of curiosity, those values you are posting shoe, what would they look like as normal levels of water?

This is the bow ;
RBOWCALG 2005-06-18 19:00:00 3.139 780.00
RBOWCALG 2005-06-18 19:15:00 3.129 774.59
RBOWCALG 2005-06-18 19:30:00 3.117 768.11
RBOWCALG 2005-06-18 19:45:00 3.105 761.62
RBOWCALG 2005-06-18 20:00:00 3.082 749.19
The numbers at the right represent water level and the flow.
Water level on the bow was ;
RBOWCALG 2005-06-16 09:30:00 1.789 now it is 3.082
Basically the river doubled its height. From a small 200ft. wide river it became a 325 foot wide river. The banks are now full with a lot more water.
The flow
RBOWCALG 2005-06-16 09:30:00 219.64 now is 749.19
m3/s Cubic meters per second
Basically how much water is flowing past your eyes any given second.
Just about 4x the flow of two days ago. Away more than the flows since the river started rising weeks ago.
The rivers are cleaning themselves. But people like living near the water.
Pardon the math.
All sizing and mapping of the beautiful rivers that flow through Calgary are only of my appreciation and interpetation and can only result in serious problems if used in any unscroupulous endeavor to undermine my love of water.
