New app sends alerts and information about Alberta lakes and rivers

EDMONTON – There’s a new app in Alberta that provides information about the province’s lakes and rivers.

 The data comes directly from the Alberta River Forecasting Centre.

The app will include alerts and flood-specific advisories, stream flows and water levels. It will also provide information on rain and snowfall.

There is also a map broken into the province’s major river basins.

Environment Minister Robin Campbell says the app helps ensure that people have information they need – especially in emergency situations.
