What were the conditions that created the southern Alberta floods of 2013? How does the Bow River hydro-geography function, and how can we effectively communicate these complex processes?
The Bow River Geosimuation model represents the hydrological system of the Bow, Elbow, Spray, Sheep and Highwood Rivers. It is used to understand how conditions in June 2013 resulted in severe flooding, and to communicate the complex dynamics working within the hydrological system.
Hell or High Water
“I've seen things I never thought I would see: the Bow and Elbow Rivers, part of the bloodstream of every Calgarian, running higher and faster and angrier than ever before, entire communities under water, and neighbours who lost nearly everything they owned” - N. Nenshi
Water balance in a distributed model
The Bow River Geosimulation model applied the hydrological model STREAM to the Bow River basin. It represents the conditions that led to the severe flooding in southern Alberta in 2013.
