The 2019 Water Development Plan is the result of nearly a year’s worth of Water Commission coordination with project sponsors from across the state to understand and identify future projects and their associated financial needs. Included in this document is a comprehensive inventory of water projects throughout North Dakota that could come forward for new or additional cost-share in future biennia. In addition, emphasis was placed on 10- and 20-year forecasts for water development needs in North Dakota. The 2019 Water Development Plan is available for download here.
