The average daily diversion from the Bow River was 780 cfs (22 m3/s) over the last week. Bow flows remain strong for July, averaging 4,250 cfs (120 m3/s) which is considered to be high flow stage for the river. All water demand is being met from the river diversion, with our internal storage remaining full. There are no plans currently to limit the per acre allocation for irrigators however it is important to recognize that the Bow will weaken as the weeks go by so the WID encourages our users to irrigate while supply remains strong and no limits are in place.
