Since 1993, the Fargo-Moorhead area has flooded every year except one, racking up an average of almost $200 million in annual damages.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop an aqueduct for the Maple River as part of a larger system to deter flooding that has plagued the area. It’s estimated that one in five North Dakotans will benefit from the project.
