(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 1/5 or a 20% 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 Potential failure of flood protection barrier - Low lying areas that could be flooded if an existing permanent flood protection barrier were to fail.
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 Potential failure of flood protection barrier - Low lying areas that could be flooded if an existing permanent flood protection barrier were to fail.
The flood areas shown were mapped in 2015 jointly by Alberta Environment and Parks and the City of Calgary, using the best available hydrologic and hydraulic data and models. As such, the flooding shown reflects 2015 conditions, hydrology and topography. The effects of mitigation measures (changes to reservoirs/dams or barriers) built since 2015 are not included. 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 flood extents line was manually delineated from an aerial photo taken on June 22, 2013, and does not represent the peak or maximum flood extents during the June 2013 flood event. This aerial photo was taken somewhat after the flood peak had passed. Actual peak flood extents may have been greater than shown. There may be some error in the extents shown due to the method used for creating the line from the aerial photo (interference of trees, shadows, etc. when interpreting the location of flood water in the photo).
Export as Shapefile or GeoJSON.
Export as Shapefile or GeoJSON.
The approximate flows at the time the aerial photo was taken:
-Bow River upstream of where the Elbow River joins it: 1575 m3/s at time of aerial photo (1840 m3/s at 2013 flood peak flow)
-Elbow River downstream of Glenmore Dam: 550m3/s at time of aerial photo (700 m3/s at 2013 flood peak flow)
-Bow River upstream of where the Elbow River joins it: 1575 m3/s at time of aerial photo (1840 m3/s at 2013 flood peak flow)
-Elbow River downstream of Glenmore Dam: 550m3/s at time of aerial photo (700 m3/s at 2013 flood peak flow)

Step lines define the regulatory flood elevation levels within the floodway/flood fringe. The official designated flood elevation indicated by the text applies within the section of the river between the two lines (one upstream and one downstream) where the number is written. An annotation file with the elevations is provided separately as an attachment (see "About" menu).
These flood elevations reference Calgary’s Regulatory Flood Map (available separately). The Regulatory Flood Map shows the floodway, flood fringe and overland flood zones. The map is used for land planning purposes, showing the designated flood zones where various development and building regulations apply. The map shows the regulatory flood zones for the Bow River, Elbow River, Nose Creek and West Nose Creek.

The map shows the regulatory flood zones for the Bow River, Elbow River, Nose Creek and West Nose Creek.
For more on the development and building regulations that apply in each designated flood zone, please refer to Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw, Part 3 Division 3. http://www.calgary.ca/PDA/pd/Pages/Calgary-Land-Use-bylaw-1P2007/Calgary-Land-Use-Bylaw-1P2007.aspx
Are you building or renovating?
If you are building or renovating, check the regulatory flood map on this page, and the 1:100 year inundation map (from Flooding in Calgary: Maps http://www.calgary.ca/UEP/Water/Pages/Flood-Info/Calgary-flood-maps/Flood-maps.aspx) to see if your property is in a flood risk zone. Since late 2011, property owners have been advised of both the official designated flood elevation per the Land Use Bylaw (based on this regulatory flood map) and the most up to date recommended flood elevation (based on the updated 1:100 year inundation map) for their specific property.
