The North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915 was one of the largest floods in the history of Edmonton. On 28 June, the Edmonton Bulletin reported the river had risen "10 feet in as many hours." A frantic telegram from Rocky Mountain House alerted local authorities to the flood's arrival. The Canadian Northern Railway had parked a number of train cars on the city's Low Level Bridge to protect against the debris that had been pushed up against its piers, including a house swept away by the current. Thousands of Edmonton residents watched the flood destroy lumber mills along the city's river valley.

| - The North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915 was one of the largest floods in the history of Edmonton. On 28 June, the Edmonton Bulletin reported the river had risen "10 feet in as many hours." A frantic telegram from Rocky Mountain House alerted local authorities to the flood's arrival. The Canadian Northern Railway had parked a number of train cars on the city's Low Level Bridge to protect against the debris that had been pushed up against its piers, including a house swept away by the current. Thousands of Edmonton residents watched the flood destroy lumber mills along the city's river valley. Like all rivers, the North Saskatchewan River is subject to periodic flooding, beginning with rapid snowmelt in the mountains or prolonged periods of rain in the river basin. With the establishment of permanent communities along the river's course, and the rise of an administrative/government structure, records exist recording floods in the North Saskatchewan for the past century. The Bighorn Dam, constructed in the early 1970s near Nordegg, Alberta, and the Brazeau Reservoir, constructed in the mid-1960s, have not reduced potential for flooding on the North Saskatchewan River.

- Översvämningen av North Saskatchewan River 1915 var en av de största översvämningarna i Edmontons historia. Den 28 juni rapporterade tidningen Edmonton Bulletin att floden hade stigit "10 fot (feet) på lika många timmar." Ett hektiskt telegram från Rocky Mountain House varnade lokala myndigheter för översvämningen hade parkerat ett antal tågvagnar på Low Level Bridge i Edmonton, för att skydda mot skräp, och även ett hus som hade svepts iväg av strömmarna. Tusentals invånare i Edmonton såg på när översvämningen förstörde sågverk längs stadens floddal. Som alla floder är North Saskatchewan River utsatt för periodisk översvämning, som börjar med snabb snösmältning i bergen eller längre perioder med regn i avrinningsområdet. Med inrättandet av permanenta samhällen längs floden och uppkomsten av en administrativ / regeringsstruktur finns det register över översvämningar i North Saskatchewan under det senaste århundradet. Bighorndammen, byggd i början av 1970-talet nära Nordegg i Alberta och Brazeau Reservoir, byggd i mitten av 1960-talet, har inte minskat översvämningspotentialen på North Saskatchewan River. (sv)
