John Hoeven: “We are grateful for these ND Guard members’ willingness to serve and for the sacrifices made by them and their families.”

Drought conditions are expected to continue throughout the fall and winter, and water levels in Lake Sakakawea will continue to decrease.

We recognize that the Corps has minimized flows going out of the upper Missouri Basin, but more needs to be done.

Fundamentally, we want to work with our ranchers to grow our herds.

That’s why we will continue pressing the Corps to do everything it can to conserve water and to reduce flows out of Garrison Dam as much as possible.
