(Note: Updated inundation maps for 1:2 to 1:1000 floods are available from Alberta Environment and Parks (2020). The new draft maps can be viewed here: https://floods.alberta.ca/?app_code=FI&mapType=Draft)
These inundation maps show whether a property is at risk for various sized river floods. The size of flood shown on this map has a 1/75 or a 1.3% chance of occurring in any year.
The three distinct types of inundation shown on the maps are:
o Inundation - Area flooded overland due to riverbank overtopping.
o Isolated - Low lying areas that will not be wet from riverbank overtopping, but may experience groundwater seepage or stormwater backup.
o Protected - Area protected by a permanent flood barrier.
The flood areas shown are based on Alberta Environment and Parks most recent (2020) inundation maps. There is uncertainty inherent in predicting the effects of flood events, and this uncertainty increases for floods with less than a 1% chance of occurrence in any year. Any use of this data must recognizing the uncertainty with regards to the exact location and extent of flooding.

The impervious surface layer for 2014 contains polygon features generated from Digital Aerial Survey mapping line work. The layer features represent the various impervious surface types found within The City of Calgary. These features are classified by surface type and description based on the classification and specifications used in the Digital Aerial Survey Program. Additional higher level general surface type classification has been applied to each impervious surface layer feature. To learn more about other DAS products available, visit Digital Aerial Survey.

The Impervious Surface - 2010 layer contains polygon features generated from the 2010 Digital Aerial Survey mapping line work. The Impervious Surface layer features represent the various impervious surface types found within The City of Calgary. These features are classified by surface type and description based on the classification and specifications used in the Digital Aerial Survey Program. Additional higher level general surface type classification and referencing to the Alberta Township System (ATS) has been applied to each impervious surface layer feature. To learn more about other DAS products available, visit Digital Aerial Survey.
