The Bow River: Friend and Teacher | Frank Frigo | TEDxCalgary

Like other cities that have a significant river running through them, Calgary's Bow River both supports the city of almost 1.5 people living around it and poses a flooding threat during extreme climate cycles, as happened in 2013.

Drawing from his long experience working with the Bow River as a water engineer, Frank sees this world-famous river as both a friend and a teacher to be respected as it makes its way from its vast mountain watershed through other systems to the Arctic Ocean. Frank is a water resources engineer and applied hydrologist with the City of Calgary, focused on water supply, dam and reservoir design and operations, floodplain management, flood forecasting, stormwater, water quality and riparian management.
