Description: The Red River basin spans 25 million acres and is home to a patchwork of prairies and wetlands. It’s part of the Prairie Pothole Region, and serves as a critical migratory wildlife pathway. But severe flooding over the past 20 years continues to threaten this landscape, decreasing habitat and negatively impacting water quality.
Higher than normal rainfall coupled with rapid snow melts has caused serious erosion, adversely affecting water quality in the area, while out-of-bank, rapidly moving flood water destroys habitat, threatens property and crucial ecosystems. Complicating the issue is the varying topographies of the region, which range from extremely flat, glacial lake plains and valleys to hilly beach ridges.
In 2011, NRCS launched the Red River Basin Initiative (RRBI), which covers parts of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, to reduce erosion, improve water quality and store water during flood events on private lands through voluntary conservation efforts.
