Fargo-Moorhead Area Diversion Project
The Fargo–Moorhead, Fargo-Moorhead (FM) Area Diversion project, officially known as the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Diversion Flood Risk Management Project, is a large, regional flood control infrastructure project on the Red River of the North, which forms the border between North Dakota and Minnesota and flows north to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The Red River has flooded the Red River Valley numerous times since the late 1800s, and eight of the top 10 floods have occurred since 1989. When it is ready to operate in 2027, the roughly $3.2 billion project will protect more than 273,000 people in the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area from catastrophic flooding. Ultimately, it also will free residents and businesses from the need for flood insurance once the project is certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The project includes a 30-mile stormwater diversion channel that extends from just south of Horace, ND, to north of Argusville, ND (across fro ...

Sheyenne River
The Sheyenne River is one of the major tributaries of the Red River of the North, meandering U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline dataThe National Map accessed June 8, 2011 across eastern North Dakota, United States. The river begins about north of McClusky, and flows generally eastward before turning south near McVille. The southerly flow of the river continues through Griggs and Barnes counties before it turns in a northeastward direction near Lisbon. The river forms the 27-mile long Lake Ashtabula behind the Baldhill Dam north of Valley City, which was constructed in 1951 for flood control by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Sheyenne is classified as a "perch river," as its banks are higher than the surrounding ground, formed as natural levees in flooding centuries ago. When floodwaters break through the banks, they spread in a wide area. From Lisbon, the river crosses the Sheyenne National Grassland and enters Cass County ...
