UMRBA North Dakota Water Supply Project Comment Letters

In 2024 and 2026, UMRBA submitted a letter to Congress articulating the Association's opposition to the proposed North Dakota Water Supply Project, which would require pulling water out of the Missouri River Basin.  UMRBA has long held the position that the Missouri River water should be kept flowing within its basin and available to make its contribution to the Mississippi River.  UMRBA's position is that such interbasin transfers would encourage unsustainable development and water use and result in far-reaching economic, societal, and ecological consequences to the nation.
