It’s #NationalRiversMonth, a time to highlight projects that are helping to keep rivers healthy, mitigate flooding, and deliver the clean, reliable #Water communities need to thrive.
This highlight looks at the Red River in North Dakota, where the state is implementing a $1.16 billion project to strengthen the river’s reliability and resilience during prolonged drought.
The centerpiece of the project is a 125-mile-long, 72-inch-diameter pipeline that will bring treated water from the Missouri River to the Red River, augmenting its supply as needed to serve more than 30 cities and rural systems.
With program management, design and construction management services provided by Black & Veatch, the buried trans-basin pipeline and associated infrastructure will mitigate when completed costly water shortages for approximately 50% of North Dakota’s population and foster economic development region wide while supporting the #Sustainability of the Red River.
