	MPCA - Red River Basin - Water Quality Basin Planning
		The Red River Basin was chosen as part of the group of 3 basins (of the 10 major drainage basins in the state) to be focused on first (together with the Minnesota River Basin and the Lake Superior Basin).
		The Red River Basin Board mission is: To develop, and cause to be implemented, a comprehensive water management plan for the Red River Basin; and to facilitate and pursue the resolution of inter-jurisdictional issues.
		The RRWMB consists of the established watershed districts in the Minnesota-portion of the Red River Basin.

		The purpose of the control structure is to regulate the flow between the natural channel of the Red River and the floodway channel, during the period of high water levels.
		The purpose of the outlet structure is to dissipate the energy in the water at its point of re-entry to the Red River near Lockport, thereby preventing damage and erosion in the river.
		Floods occurred on the Red River in 1969, 1970, 1974, 1979, 1987 and 1997.

		In the Red River Basin, dissolved solids and alkalinity are high because of geologic and climatic conditions.
		The river is turbid (carries large amounts of sediment) and high in sulfate and carbonate.
		A decreasing trend in dissolved nutrients in the Minnesota River may be attributable to reductions in agriculture activities because of the droughts of the 1980s.

	Who Decides? Forecasts and Responsibilities in the 1997 Red River Flood
		The Red River of the North basin is located in North Dakota and Minnesota in the United States, and in southern Manitoba, Canada (Figure 1).
		The Red River of the North flows north through Winnipeg, Manitoba, and is a tributary of the Nelson River basin, which carries runoff into Hudson Bay from much of southern Canada from the Great Lakes to the Continental Divide.
		Once the river exceeded the level of the 1979 flood, some Corps officials noticed that their internal estimates diverged from those of the NWS and were in fact closer to the observed flood level, and therefore concluded that the peak stage would be higher than NWS predictions, perhaps 52-55 feet.

	Red River Flooding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The atmospheric conditions that contributed to the record flooding of the Red River and its tributaries are best appreciated by first reviewing the geographic and normal climate conditions for the region.
		In the northern part of the basin, daily mean temperatures throughout the winter and spring typically average 3°-6°C cooler than those in the south, remaining below freezing from late October to early April, then increasing to 7°-8°C by the end of April.
		The important factors that set the stage for potential significant flooding of the Red River and its tributaries during April 1997 included greatly enhanced snowfall during the winter and a substantial buildup of river ice throughout the northern half of the Red River.

	Red River Compact Commission
		In 1978, the Compact was signed by member states to resolve and prevent disputes over waters of the Red River Basin that are shared between the neighboring states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, and to assure the receipt by member states of adequate surface flows and releases.
		The Red River Compact Commission consists of nine members -- two members from each of the four states (the director of the state water agency and a basin resident appointed by the governor) and a federal representative appointed by the President.
		While provisions of the Red River Compact specifically state how much water each signatory state is allowed to develop or store on an interstate stream, the compact generally provides a means of working out problems between member states in an orderly manner, thus preventing the likelihood of litigation in most cases.

	Sabine River Basin Overview
		The Sabine River Basin is relatively long and narrow, with a length of approximately 300 miles and a maximum width of approximately 48 miles.
		The Sabine River Basin is bounded on the north and northeast by the Red River Basin, on the east by the Calcasieu River Basin, on the west by the Neches River Basin, and on the northwest by the Trinity River Basin.

		The releases of water are supposed to replicate the historic rise of the river with the spring melting of mountain snow before dams were built.
		At a meeting of Missouri River states, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds proposed changing how and when water is released for the downstream barge industry in order to keep more in the reservoirs and avoid a "navigational preclude" that's part of the Army Corps of Engineers' master manual for operating the dams and reservoirs.
		The draft of the river's 2004-2005 operating plan anticipates that there will be only minimum flows for the 2005 navigation season and that it will be shortened 27 to 61 days, depending on runoff this winter and spring.
