The Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area is a major health, educational, cultural, and commercial center serving southeastern North Dakota and west-central Minnesota. The area is prone to flooding; the Red River has
exceeded flood stage in 48 of the past 109 years and every year from 1993
through 2011. A 500-year event would flood nearly the entire city of Fargo
and a large portion of the city of Moorhead, as well as several smaller
communities in the area. Average annual flood damages are estimated at over
$194.8 million.
Fargo, Moorhead and the Corps of Engineers are joining together to study possible solutions to reduce flood risk in the entire metropolitan and surrounding area. The study will consider potential alternatives including non-structural flood-proofing, diversion channels, levee/floodwall systems, and flood storage.
