The Bow River is a river in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The river rises on the eastern edge of the Frankland State Forest and flows in a southerly direction discharging into Irwin Inlet, which opens to the Southern Ocean at Foul Bay. Bow River is a fresh water river with potential to be used as a water source in the area. [4]
The Bow River holds a resident population of rainbow and brown trout that has one of the best growth rates to be found on any river system in the world today. [ citation needed ] A trout that is 4 to 5 years old will be around 53 centimetres (21 in) long, and the Bow River holds many fish that are this size or larger.
The Elbow and Highwood rivers reached flow rates of 544 m 3 /s (inside Calgary) and 734 m 3 /s respectively, ten times their averages for this time of year. [11] According to data tracked by Alberta's Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ notes 1 ] "in the space of a day or two, the flows of the three ...
A 2009 report, [5] produced by WWF-Canada which analysed the river flow on ten major Canadian rivers reported that the South Saskatchewan River was the most at risk. Climate change, agricultural and urban infrastructure water use, and dams producing hydroelectricity, have all combined to reduce the flow of the South Saskatchewan River by 70 ...
This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.
The lower course flows through Bow Valley Provincial Park, where Barrier Lake is formed along the river. Barrier Lake is an artificial lake used for hydroelectric power generation. The Kananaskis merges into the Bow River at Seebe, 30 km east of Canmore. The Kananaskis River has a total length of 74 kilometers (46 mi).
In a 1973 City of Calgary flood plain management report by Montreal Engineering Co. Ltd., estimates of flood-frequency of the Bow River upstream of the Elbow River in Calgary provided the following results: There is a 10-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood or a 10-year flood return period with a peak flow or flood discharge ...
The water in this stream forms varying currents as it makes its way downhill. In hydrology, a current in a water body is the flow of water in any one particular direction. The current varies spatially as well as temporally, dependent upon the flow volume of water, stream gradient, and channel geometry.
