Water Infrastructure and Flood Protection
North Dakota has abundant water resources. If they are carefully managed, these resources will provide tremendous economic and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Well-constructed, well-managed flood protection infrastructure can protect the lives, livelihoods and property of North Dakotans across our state.
From my position on the Energy and Water Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, I am working to restore, improve and build up our state’s water infrastructure, especially flood protection projects for North Dakota.
