  • Artificial Drainage Report.Pdf
    HH3: Souris River Basin Artificial Drainage Impacts Review July 15, 2019 FINAL REPORT Submitted to the International Souris River Study Board by the HH3 Working Group Report prepared by Bob Harrison Executive Summary This project was undertaken as a portion of the Souris River Study. The governments of Canada and the United States asked the IJC to undertake studies evaluating the physical processes occurring within the Souris River basin which are thought to have contributed to recent flooding events. The public expressed a high interest in the issue of agricultural drainage impacts. Thus an “Artificial Drainage Impacts Review” was added to International Souris River Study Board’s (ISRSB) Work Plan to help address their questions and provide information to the public regarding wetland drainage. This report summarizes the current knowledge of artificial drainage in the Souris River basin. The study involved a review of drainage legislation and practices in the basin, the artificial drainage science, the extent of artificial drainage in the basin and the potential influence on transboundary flows Artificial drainage is undertaken to make way for increased or more efficient agricultural production by surface or/and subsurface drainage. Surface drainage moves excess water off fields naturally (i.e., runoff) or by constructed channels. The purpose of using surface drainage is to minimize crop damage from water ponding after a precipitation event, and to control runoff without causing erosion. Subsurface drainage is installed to remove groundwater from the root zone or from low-lying wet areas. Subsurface drainage is typically done through the use of buried pipe drains (e.g., tile drainage).

Þfa HYDROLOGY AND ITWESTTGATIONS ENGINEER D¿$ID A.. -8. DIRECTOR. OF ENGINEERING VERNON FAHY, STATts SUMMARY In May, 1983 the North Dakota State blater Commission entered into an agreement v¡ith the lrlard county Water Resource District to develop a hydrologic model and evaluate flooding problems in the Des Lacs River Basin. A hydrologic computer model was used to estimate discharges on the tributaries and at selected points on the river. Eight potential d.am sites were investigated for their potential to reduce flooding in the basin. It should, be pointed out that this report is not proposing that these dams be constructed at this Èime. If the lrlater Resource District. desires to pursue any particular dam or Èype of dam, a more detailed investigation would be reguired,. The dams studied both individually and coll-ectively do not provide a large degree of flood. protection. The study shows that several dams would be required to reduce the flood peaks significantly. The follow- ing results pertain to the placement of dam sites. 1. Dams placed north of the Des Lacs Refuge would have litÈIe downstream effect d.ue to the combined capacity of the refuge reservoirs.

  • Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge Waterfowl Productions Areas
    Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge If any of your forefathers homesteaded on the prairie, a stop at this Refuge is a must. Here, the graceful, wind-swept beauty of unbroken prairie can be fully appreciated. Scenes like these must have awed and struck fear in the hearts of Special early settlers, many of whom had spent their lives amidst the shelter and protection of forested areas. This is probably the best example of mid-grass prairie pothole lands remain­ State Numbered Highways ing in the United States. Try to schedule a visit during and Other Roads the spring or early summer when both wildflowers and US Numbered and Interstate Highways waterfowl are very visible. Gravel Surfaced Places Waterfowl Productions Areas Lakes and Rivers Approximate Boundaries of Refuges As you travel from Refuge to Refuge, watch for Waterfowl Refuge Headquarters Production Areas. These relatively small wildlife areas, purchased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are marked with green and white boundary signs illustrated with a canvasback duck and ducklings. They were preserved to protect and improve waterfowl habitat, particularly prairie nesting areas for ducks. Birdwatching, photography, and hunting are permitted. Infor­ mation on Waterfowl Produc­ tion Areas can be obtained at any of the Refuges. Many Waterfowl Production Areas and National Wildlife Refuges have been bought with monies raised from the sale of Duck Stamps. Today, as in the last half century, your purchase of a Duck Stamp will aid waterfowl and other wildlife by pro­ tecting essential habitats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants your visit to these Refuges and Waterfowl Production Areas to be a memorable experience.
