The Future of Flood Protection Tour
Spring snow melts result in the recurring threat of major flooding along the Red River, creating anxiety in the Fargo-Moorhead metro and rural Cass County communities. The construction of the Fargo-Moorhead Metro Flood Diversion will help protect 260,000+ residents in this area. Tour participants will visit existing flood control facilities and flood protection sites and structures under construction. They will learn about the overall operation of the Diversion and how it will bring permanent, reliable flood protection to the area. The tour begins and ends in Fargo.
The public is invited to attend the tour, which costs $30 per person, and includes transportation, informational materials, meals, refreshments and a one-year digital subscription to the North Dakota Water magazine.
Registration is required for this tour. For questions or to register, contact Julie Ellingson or call 701-223-8332.
The North Dakota Water Education Foundation would like to thank this year’s tour sponsors. Their support is key to the success of the entire tour program.
