More reaction to the recent flood mitigation announcement. From the article: But the coalition of Springbank landowners and environmentalists blasted the province for approving the dry reservoir, claiming the government did not adequately consult with residents and chose the reservoir because it was a “politically convenient option.” “There are options, like McLean Creek, that do not destroy communities, offer protection from flooding to rural communities like Bragg Creek and Redwood Meadows, and offer even greater protection to the City of Calgary,” Robinson said. He said the group would launch a “well-coordinated campaign to vigorously oppose” the reservoir. Prentice defended the Springbank dry reservoir as the “most cost-effective” and “most environmentally defensible solution in the immediate term.” #abwater #abflood
