Yesterday at Confederation Park at 30th Ave NW. At D33 the water enters a 6X8 vault travelling thru the cemetery, joining multiple streams below #HighlandValley exiting at Nose Creek. Upstream development only increases the flooding here and downstream. #yyc #yyccc #watershed

Scenes from Conferderation Creek yesterday during #abstorm This groundwater stream flows from Nose Hill thru NW communities to Nose Creek N25 (sometimes in a concrete vault) and is 1 of many streams flowing to & thru #HighlandValley #yyc #yyccc #floodplain #WaterIsLife

The Queens Park groundwater stream flows clean & clear along beside the storm outflow during yesterday's #abstorm The stream is 1 of many tributaries flowing thru #HighlandValley that was buried in the sixties b4 the Water Act was enacted. #yyc #yyccc #SaveOurSprings #floodplain

During yesterday's rain the Queens Park Creek fills with stormwater from surrounding communities. This flows underground through #HighlandValley where it joins Confederation Creek & other streams flowing to Nose Creek N25. #yyc #yyccc # floodplain #abst

Every time it rains the stormwater flowing into Confederation Creek causes flooding in the park. This stream is one of the many tributaries flowing underground through #HighlandValley to Nose Creek N25. #yyc #yyccc #ableg #floodplain #EastConfederationPark

Native flowers of the #HighlandValley On the SW facing slope at this time of year beautiful clusters of violets appear. And the steep toe of the slope along 44th Ave is dotted with yellow 'Buffalo Beans'. Cattle from the Laycock farm once grazed here. #yyc #yyccc #watershed

Scenes from the tributaries of the #HighlandValley When it rains the groundwater stream at Queens Park Cemetery is flooded with stormwater & debris flowing to Confederation Creek (underground) thru the valley to Nose Creek N25. #yyc #yyccc #RallyForTheValley #SaveOurSprings

Today in the #HighlandValley #RustysSpring continuing to flow into Wetland1 with an assist by last night's rain. This 1st order groundwater stream is another tributary in the Confederation Creek Watershed flowing to Nose Creek N25. #yyc #yyccc #SaveOurSprings
