Attached: 1 image Southern Alberta is a dry place to live. Calgary's water supply comes from the Elbow River, which is fed primarily from mountain run off. Global warming reduces snowpack, melts glaciers in the Rockies and dries out wetlands. If we don't look after our critical watersheds it will only be a few short decades before our city experiences a water crisis. Short term thinking is a recipe for disaster. #elbowriver #watershed #watersupply #Calgary
