Need for the Project

Surface water supplies in Central North Dakota and the Red River Valley are limited and unreliable, particularly under drought conditions. Additionally, limited groundwater supplies are nearly fully appropriated. With continued growth and industrial development, the RRVWSP is needed to:

  1. Mitigate against drought conditions that would cause costly water shortages
  2. Foster economic development by meeting municipal, industrial, and rural water demands
  3. Promote environmental sustainability

Existing Supplies will be Inadequate During Drought
