The purpose of North Dakota Water is to help increase public understanding of issues impacting water and the need to protect, develop and manage North Dakota’s water resources.

North Dakota Water publishes and distributes information focused on the importance of water in the lives of North Dakota citizens. It educates students, teachers, farmers, political decision-makers, business and private interests, and the general public about the importance of water supply, water distribution, water quality, wetlands, and water use. It is dedicated to providing much-needed features and news about water resources in North Dakota. Each issue contains general water stories, rural water features, and a variety of other water news and information.

The magazine is published by the North Dakota Water Education Foundation, with support from several organizations, including the North Dakota Department of Water Resources, Garrison Diversion Conservancy District, North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality, North Dakota Water Users Association, North Dakota Rural Water Systems Association, North Dakota Water Resource Districts Association, Southwest Water Authority, and others.
