Questions

Which rivers are highest in Canada right now?

Compared with what is normal for this month: Souris River below Rafferty Reservoir (SK), Weiller Creek at Wetaskiwin (AB), Buchanan Creek at Manning (AB), Cottonwood Creek at Lumsden (SK), Vermilion River at Vegreville (AB).

How do you decide a river is running high?

We compare the latest flow (or level, when there is no flow) with the monthly averages of past years at the same gauge. Above the 75th percentile is "above normal" and above the 90th is "very high". It is context, not a warning: check official sources for floods.
