The Red River Joint Water Resource District is a collaborative board comprised of 14 individual Water Resource Districts in the Red River Basin, working together to manage and develop water resources in West Fargo, ND. They provide critical funding for water retention projects and aim to reduce flood damage within the Red River Watershed of the North.
One of their notable achievements is the Maple River Dam, a major water retention project completed through a cooperative effort with the Cass County Joint Water Resource District and state agencies. This 70-foot high earthen embankment dry dam, located in southeast North Dakota, has the capacity to retain 60,000 acre-feet of floodwater.
