Someone (kearl) emailed me a link to this site.

It gives you the flows of a bunch of rivers all at the same time! Chris will hopefully get this on the sidebar soon. With this site, you can quickly decide which flows are up and what would be best to paddle!
Nice Job "kearl"!

yep, I'll see about putting the feed just below each link. That way the side bar will show the real time flows. It may take a few days though to play around with the template.
I linked to it on the "flows" text at the top of the flow info.
I am trying to figure out a python script to mine the flow info sites. Thus a real time readout would be next to each river.
If anyone knows how to do this, drop me a line.
Great link! Nice to have flows all clustered together. A few years ago Wilco and I spent quite a bit of time with a hydraulic analysis and interpreting >1000 river trip reports from S. Ab. and derived flow recommendations that might also be helpful. We estimated 'minimum flow' the low flow that would still be worth the trip and the 'preferred flow' the low end of the 'ideal range'. The values are quite consistent with those posted except for the Sheep and Highwood. Relative to the Oldman Basin, here are our recommendations:
