Do they have a water license for that? Or do they not need to, for whatever reason?

You're asking too many questions. That's not a threat; just a statement.

Must be some old grandfathered TDL (temp diversion License). My company has this really old 40's era TDL that we could pump pretty much unlimited water from a certain river. We have no use for that much but other companies sure would like it. But you aren't allowed to sell the water apparently, just access to the water that you give away.

I'm upstream of you. Let's just say I've just thought of a way to reduce how much water is used in my toilet. Every one of us needs to do our part.

That’s where I dump my used engine oil!

We're the only lake in Calgary that doesn't need city water. We just upgraded our pump to draw from elsewhere, have a new kick ass filter so the water will be clean af, and we aerate the water at night so it will never be stagnant.

I'll sit in my floaty and drink to calgarypuck's failed attempt at taking glee in my supposed misfortune all summer long.

Enjoy the drought.

<Darth Vader voice> Nooooooooo!

Welcome back winter!

[Freeway]

The never-ending false spring.

[Jacks]

I set my (plastic) rain barrel up, if it freezes and splits I won't be amused. Can't see it getting that cold ... please.

[Inglewood Jack]

I wish it was hotter

[EVERLAST]

6th winter?

[Weitz]

There is a foot of snow on my railing in the backyard. Unbelievable.

[Cowboy89]

So does having one of the wettest March's in decades and an April Precipitation level to match start to make an impact on the dire drought predictions? Or is that narrative too compelling to give up?

[Looch City]

Jesus Christ. The morning commute is gonna be fun.

[Erick Estrada]

Pretty strange commute. Everything from rain, snow, and slush to flooding on some streets.

Depends where you are. Southern Alberta moisture levels are good now, central and NW Alberta is very poor.
Most River levels are really poor right now:
Bow River near the Mouth – On March 6, the flow was measured to be 39.9
m³/s, the lowest March measurement in the last 24 years.
Elbow River at Sarcee Bridge – On February 26, the flow was measured to
be .76 m³/s, the fifth lowest winter measure in the past 25 years.
Oldman Reservoir – Current storage is 35%. Normal for this time of year is
between 61% and 82%.
Snow Pack is getting better, and this week should help a lot.
Bow River basin – 11 of the 17 sites were in the normal range or above.
Sunshine Village is the lowest and is approximately 100 mm below the
normal range.
