Project Overview

The Springbank off-stream Reservoir (referred to as the Project or SR1) is a flood mitigation

infrastructure project aimed at protecting Calgary and southern Alberta from flooding along the Elbow

River. It is a primarily dry reservoir that temporarily stores floodwater and, in conjunction with the

capacity of the permanent Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary, would accommodate floodwaters at the level

generated in 2013. SR1 covers 3,600 acres in an area 15 km west of Calgary near Springbank Road, north

of the Elbow River, and predominantly east of highway 22. The Project consists of an off-stream storage

reservoir, a diversion structure and channel, an off-stream storage dam, outlet works and road

modifications. The goal of the project is to prevent future loss of life and costly damages to Calgary

infrastructure, both public and private, during flood events. The Project will undergo environmental

reviews with provincial and federal regulators to ensure environmental impacts are understood and

mitigated. Once approved, the Project will undergo 3 years of construction with partial operations being

achieved in year 2.
