Alberta river basins and flow information. Link enclosed
 
Hi,

I tried searching to see if this post existed but I did not locate it.
This link takes you to the Alberta River Basins website. It will give you all sorts of relevant information regarding water levels, clarity,quality, etc at several measuring stations.

Good luck

I already visit this site frequently but kudos to you for helping others out.
The flow rates of the rivers from rocky south are scary.

How do you read this data?

,,(m),(m3/s)
05BG010,2012-06-07 00:00:00,1.565,85.450
05BG010,2012-06-07 01:00:00,1.553,82.749

05BG010 = station number
2012-06-07 00:00:00 = date & time (mountain standard time)
1.565 = height of water at the gauge (shows if water is rising or falling)
85.450 = river discharge in cubic meter per second

By checking periodically you will see if the river level is rising, falling or staying constant.

Choose "Figure" instead of "Table" and you get the graph.

I do pictures better.:)
