The Government of Alberta Moves to Add Dams on the Bow River

The Government of Alberta has started the ball rolling to add new dams on the Bow River to aid in flood protection for the City of Calgary and drought protection for water users further downstream.

The project  Bow Basin Water Management Options is a Conceptual Assessment for a new dam at either the Glenbow Ranch or Morley Indian Reserve or the option to expand Ghost Reservoir.

Bow River Trout Foundation has expressed our concerns to the Government of Alberta with new dam construction on the Bow River  Bow River Water Management Plan.

It is hoped that the concerns for the Bow River Fishery will be recognized.
