South Saskatchewan River

South Saskatchewan River: The water flow in the South Saskatchewan River is projected to top 5,000 cubic metres per second on Monday. Similarly high flows in the river in 1995 caused widespread damage across southern Alberta, according to CTV. Approximately 10,000 people have been asked to leave the low-lying areas of the city as the South Saskatchewan River continued to rise over the weekend and Emergency crews in Medicine Hat have prepared for the worst as water levels in the citys major river continue to rise and are expected to peak Monday morning. Flooding on the Bow and Elbow Rivers devastated parts of Calgary on Thursday and Friday, and more than 20 communities in Alberta have been on alert after heavy rains. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
