Welcome
Welcome to the Red River Watershed Management Board (RRWMB) website. The RRWMB’s jurisdiction and authority encompasses the area managed by the individual watershed districts that have membership on the Board. Eight watershed districts within the Red River Valley form the RRWMB including the Joe River, Two Rivers, Roseau River, Middle-Snake-Tamarac Rivers, Red Lake, Sand Hill River, Wild Rice, and Bois de Sioux.
The RRWMB was created by an act of the Minnesota legislature in 1976 to provide an organization with a basin-wide perspective concerning flooding. Historically, the activities of the RRWMB have centered on flood control. Previous efforts in dealing with the flooding problem within the Red River Basin consisted of single projects within a localized area, planned with primary regard to local benefits. The RRWMB actively promotes a basin-wide perspective for water management.

What's New
Administrator's Report by Naomi Erickson
April Issue of "News & Views" Available Online -- Read the current issue online. Annual Report -- The information for the 2006 Annual Report was forwarded to Kris Versdahl & Associates. She will prepare the report for printing and also post it on the website. Twenty-five copies were ordered from the printer last year.
Funding Commitments Worksheet -- The funding commitments worksheet has been revised to reflect the February disbursements. At the previous monthly meeting, December and January worksheets were distributed. Discussion occurred whether Project No. 42 would be replacing the Felton Ditch Storage Project of the Wild Rice Watershed District. Following discussion, the board agreed that these were two separate projects. The worksheet has been revised to depict the two separate projects.
Data Request -- A letter dated February 26, 2008 requesting data from the board was received from a citizen of the Wild Rice Watershed District. The letter was forwarded to RRWMB attorney, Louis Smith, for review. Mr. Smith has forwarded a draft response to the inquiry.
Other documents were forwarded from the same party dated March 7, 2008. Please refer to handouts.
