Flood protection: corps approves Devils Lake diversion

Article Abstract:

The water level of Devils Lake, in northeastern North Dakota, has risen by more than 25 ft in the past decade, as Devil Lake receives rainfall and glacial runoff and has no natural outlet. In 2003, the Congress appropriated the federal share of the estimated $180 million project, which aims at pumping water from the west side of the lake through a 22 mi line with a design capacity of 300 cfs.
