Abstract
This report assesses the impacts of projected climate change on the hydrology, including the
flood frequencies, of the Bow and Elbow Rivers above Calgary, Alberta. It reports on
investigations of the effects of projected climate change on the runoff mechanisms for the Bow
and Elbow River basins, which are important mountain headwaters in Alberta, Canada. The study developed a methodology and applied a case study for incorporating climate change into flood frequency estimates that can be applied to a variety of river basins across Canada.
Description
Final Report developed under Agreement #AP744 for the Natural Resources Canada Climate Change Adaptation Program.
