Abstract

This Chapter of the North Dakota Century Code concerns flood control or reduction projects. It provides that there is a critical need to develop a comprehensive statewide water development program to serve the long-term water resource needs of the state and its people and to protect the state's current usage of, and the state's claim to, its proper share of Missouri River water. The Chapter further provides that the state water commission may issue bonds under chapter 61-02 and the proceeds are appropriated for flood control projects authorized and funded in part by the federal government and designed to provide permanent flood control or reduction to cities that suffered severe damages as a result of the 1997 flood or other recent floods and to repay the line of credit extended to the state water commission.
