New app: Alberta Rivers

The Province has released a new Alberta Rivers app providing advisories and information about area lakes and rivers.

"Creating this app is just one of the many actions we are taking as a government to ensure that people have the tools and information they need when they need it most - especially in emergency situations," said Robin Campbell, minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. Content of the app includes:

  • A map of the province, broken into major river basins

  • Flood specific advisories that are in effect

  • Notification to users when advisories are issued

  • Comments issued by Alberta's River Forecast Centre

  • All current surface water data for Alberta

  • Data on current rainfall, stream flows and snow


Currently the app is only available for Android phones but a release from the government said it will be available for iPhones soon.
