CALGARY — A project to build a reservoir that would help protect Calgary from a repeat of the 2013 flooding that ravaged parts of the city has been delayed 10 months. The Alberta government says more time was needed to provide information on the Springbank off-stream reservoir to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The province says that, in the meantime, it will focus on buying land for the project. The Springbank reservoir was one of the mitigation measures ordered by the government after the floods. Some of the families against the project have owned ranches around Springbank since the 1880s.
