Alberta's Snowpack: Record Highs & Drought Risks
from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Albertas Rocky Mountains experience an unprecedented snowpack this year, particularly in the Bow River basin. Lake Louise hits an all-time high, with spots like Kananaskis and Jasper National Park above average. University of Saskatchewan professor John Pomeroy describes it as remarkable, with snow levels more than double the usual water equivalent. However, south of Calgary in the Oldman River basin, record lows are observed, with severe drought risks due to the brutal U.S. drought creeping north, fueled by human-caused climate change. Spring rains will determine the melts impact, with water managers on alert for floods in the north and dry times in the south. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
