Where Does ALL This DAM Water Go?

WHO IS THE RED RIVER RETENTION AUTHORITY (RRRA)?

The RRRA was established in 2010 through a joint powers' agreement (JPA) with the Red River Joint Water Resource District (Joint Board), a North Dakota political subdivision, and the Red River Watershed Management Board (Red Board), a Minnesota Political Subdivision.  

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE RRRA? 

The Joint Board and the Red Board entered into this agreement for the purposes of coordinating and prioritizing flood retention efforts within the Red River of the North Basin.  

The primary objective of the RRRA is to ensure joint, comprehensive, and strategic coordination of retention projects in the Red River Valley.  The Authority and its members will aggressively pursue federal dollars to off-set local costs for retention projects and will serve as an advocate for local projects in the federal regulatory process.  Our directors seek basin-wide solutions to realize effective flood protection and flood damage reduction, accomplished on a strategic project-by-project basis.
