2021 Water Development Dashboard
The 2021 Water Development Plan is available for review - along with a new dashboard to provide updated information as needed.
The Water Development Dashboard is an interactive platform developed for the water community to make the 2021 Water Development Plan a living document, and to remain up-to-date on North Dakota’s water development efforts. To access the dashboard, click here or the image to the left.
The Current - January
The Current is a quarterly Water Commission and Office of the State Engineer newsletter that provides the latest agency-specific information concerning water development, regulatory and appropriation efforts, water education, policy changes, Commission meeting highlights, and much more. We hope you find the content interesting, useful, and insightful.
