Water Infrastructure and Flood Protection
North Dakota has abundant water resources and it is important that all areas of our state have access to an affordable and reliable supply of water. If they are carefully managed, these resources will provide tremendous economic and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Well-constructed, properly 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.
