Valley
Import
Alternative:
Missouri River to Red River Valley Import Alternative:
This alternative would use a combination of the Red River, other North Dakota in-basin water sources, and imported Missouri River water to meet future water demands. The principal feature would be a pipeline from the Missouri River at Bismarck to the Fargo and Grand Forks metropolitan areas. The option would include a biota water treatment plant at the Missouri River. The biota treatment process would use coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and ultraviolet disinfection. The size of the pipeline would be optimized by including a spur pipeline to release treated Missouri River water into Lake Ashtabula. The lake would be a regulating reservoir. The option would include the same North Dakota and Moorhead groundwater features as in the North Dakota In-Basin Alternative. Communities in the northern end of the valley would need additional storage reservoirs.
