This alternative would draw on a combination of the Red River, other North Dakota water sources, and Minnesota groundwater to meet future water demands. A series of well fields would be developed in Minnesota with an interconnecting conveyance pipeline serving the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. This option would rely on the existing storage and regulation capability of Lake Ashtabula to manage flows in the Sheyenne River. It would include the same North Dakota and Moorhead groundwater features as the North Dakota In-Basin Alternative. Communities in the northern end of the valley would need additional storage reservoirs.
