I get people leave the city during that time as well, but something seems off. The Stampede itself probably uses a bunch of water.

The herald said 138k people visit for stampede.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable that 10% of calgarians are on vacation for those 10 days of summer to balance it out. You also have to consider that Hotel capacity is fixed and that those 138k might average 3-5 days each so the real impact is half that number
According to this in June Calgary runs about 75% of hotel capacity

And this says we only have 15,000 hotel rooms
