About the Red River Joint Water Resource District

The Red River Joint Water Resource District (RRJWRD) was the first joint district to be created. It was originally formed in 1979 to address flooding problems in the Red River Valley, when individual water board members felt that a joint board was needed to provide a coordinated and cooperative approach to water management in the North Dakota portion of the Red River Basin. It was also determined that it would be much easier for one entity to effectively represent the region and to implement a comprehensive water management plan.
