While the Red River Basin Commission is most often associated with
flooding, we also pay attention to drought, habitat, recreation and many other aspects of water management. Holistic and long-term planning across jurisdictional boundaries is what we strive for.
The North American Drought Monitor (NADM) is a cooperative effort between drought experts in Canada, Mexico and the United States to monitor drought across the continent on an ongoing basis. The NADM is updated monthly.
Many people are asking;
“How serious are the drought conditions in the Red River Valley?”
Rivers and lakes vary from below normal to much below normal.
Rainfall events have helped improve conditions in some areas, however, conditions remain very dry across the region, ranging from severe drought to exceptional drought in some areas, as indicated on the map above.
