- A sampling of the public comments submitted on the Northwest Area Water Supply draft environmental study. ND water project opposed north and south
- Parts of northwestern North Dakota have been waiting more than 20 years for a pipeline that will bring a stable supply of Missouri River water. It has run into opposition from north of the border, where Canadian officials are calling for an expensive treatment system, and from the south, where the state of Missouri says it could harm an already dry river basin.The Northwest Area Water Supply Project was first authorized by Congress in 1986 and has been under construction since 2002. A more extensive environmental study was ordered by a federal judge as the result of an October 2002 lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., by the province of Manitoba. Construction unrelated to treatment of the pipeline water can continue with the judge's permission, but the project cannot be finished until the treatment question is resolved. |
