In general terms, the overall purpose of this water management strategy is to improve the quality of water management actions pursued by the RRJWRD. With this strategy in place, it will enable the RRJWRD to focus on future efforts that will help them to more efficiently achieve their water management and development goals.

A Report by The Lake Winnipeg Implementation Committee, November 2005
Lake Winnipeg is at a critical point in its history. It has been compared to the highly-stressed Lake Erie in the 1960s before concerted action was taken to improve it. Slightly larger than Lake Erie, Lake Winnipeg covers 23,750 square kilometers and is the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world. It is comprised of a larger North Basin and smaller South Basin. The lake is located in North America’s second largest drainage basin, the Nelson River Basin, that drains into Hudson Bay.
DEVILS LAKE BASIN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
DEVILS LAKE BASIN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Devils Lake Basin Joint Water Resource Board & North Dakota State Water Commission, 2006
It was determined by the Devils Lake Basin Joint Water Resource Board (Joint Board) in early 2002, that a need existed to update the 1995 plan, and to re-evaluate its objectives based on more current and enhanced data. That report supercedes the 1995 Devils Lake Basin Water Management Plan that was a product of the Devils Lake Basin Conceptual Water Management Plan. When the 2002 plan was completed, it was decided by the Joint Board to update the plan at least every three years.
