	MHS Transactions: The Red River Flood of 1950
		Flooding in the Red River Valley and flooding, for example, in the valleys of the Don and the Humber in Ontario are quite different.
		The flood of 1882 is described in the Manitoba Daily Free Press, May 6, 1882 [22] and the lesser flood of 1904, 1916 and 1948 in the Winnipeg Free Press, the Winnipeg Telegram, and the Winnipeg Tribune.
		The Red River rising at the common boundary of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota, follows northward as a boundary between the states of North Dakota, and Minnesota through the middle of a prairie which at a casual glance seems completely flat and which is the bed of the former Lake Agassiz.

		Among the topics he addresses in his interview are the possible effects of the flood on insurance coverage in the Red River Valley, particularly federal flood insurance; the effect of the flood on businesses, especially business losses; and the possible impact of the flood and the flood's aftermath on future health coverage in the region.
		She describes the damage that the flooding did to the public library, and discusses in detail the several days during which her home was surrounded by flood waters that engulfed much of south Breckenridge.
		She also discusses the effect of the flooding on her family, the repairs that needed to be made on both the library and her home, and the possible long-term problems that Breckenridge will face as a result of the 1997 flood.

	IJC — International Red River Board
		The Red River, or Red River of the North as it is known in the United States, flows north from its headwaters in Minnesota, across the Canada-United States international boundary, to its outlet at Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.
		International Red River Pollution Board: In 1964, the IJC was requested by the governments to study and report on the extent and causes of pollution of the Red River at the boundary and to recommend remedial measures.
		The International Red River Pollution Board was established by the Commission in June 1969 and has provided continuous surveillance of the water quality of the Red River at the international boundary.

	Tracking The Red River Flood Northward
		Flow of the Pembina River at Neche, North Dak., on April 24, where the USGS maintains a streamflow gaging station, was 10,200 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 6.6 billion gallons per day (bgd) and the gage height is steady due to backwater from the Red River of the North.
		Such measurements are particularly helpful in a flood situation such as that on the Red River because it enables hydrologists to take measurements in the river instead of from stationary points on bridges that are inundated and inaccessible.
		The current estimate of the Red's flow when it reaches the border is 135,000 cfs (87 bgd), according to the NWS river forecast center.

		Although Winnipeg largely escaped the "flood of the century" in 1997 without bearing serious damage, the Red River still forced the evacuation of over 28,000 people in Manitoba and had a direct economic impact of roughly $500 million.
		Similar large floods threatened Winnipeg in 1979 and 1950 and caused extensive damage to the fledgling Red River Settlement in 1861, 1852 and 1826.
		Flooding is a dynamic process that is affected by geomorphic, geological and climatic change.

	Red River of the North Proposal
		The 1997 spring flood of the Red River of the North reached 16.9 m (55.6 ft) at USGS gaging station 05082500 at Grand Forks, ND-East Grand Forks, MN.
		This flood level is the highest ever recorded at the gaging station (1882-1997), and the flood waters devastated virtually all of East Grand Forks, Minnesota (six homes were not damaged) and approximately 80 percent of Grand Forks, North Dakota.
		floods along the Red River of the North requires understanding both the maximum possible flood stage and estimating the probable frequencies of occurrence of various flood levels.

	Red River Floodway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a 47-km channel which, during flood periods, diverts part of the Red River's flow around the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the east and discharges it back into the Red River below the dam at Lockport.
		It was built partly in response to the disastrous Red River flood, 1950.
		The Brunkild Dike was built in 1997 during the "Flood of the Century" when the volume of water exceeded the safe capacity of the Floodway and water lapped within inches of the city's dikes.

	Anatomy of a Red River Spring Flood
		The Red River Basin is unique because the mainstem of the Red River flows north into Canada and eventually into Hudson Bay.
		Because of the relatively flat slope of the valley, the flow of the Red is slow, allowing runoff to backfill into tributaries, particularly when the downstream river channel remains frozen.
		As a result of the ideal melt, the Red River crested in Fargo on April 3rd at a stage of 26.70 ft. Although flood stage in Fargo is 17.0 feet this was considered a minor to slightly moderate flood.
