Some watch the weather forecasts more closely. Others take a weekend drive to the Rockies, an hour west, to see what's left of the winter snowpack high in the mountains.
Brenda Leeds Binder, who lives near the Elbow River, said a "nervous anticipation" has set in every June since 2013. As the water leaves the mountains, it flows through rivers across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba where it's used in cities, towns and farms. Pomeroy, who lives in Canmore, said scientists have since tried to get a better understanding of how it happened and how often major floods could happen in the future.Many research papers have been written about historic flooding, flooding and climate change, how much the snowpack contributes and the need for better monitoring and warning systems.
