Missouri River Joint Water Board Hosting Missouri River Public Meetings

“The positive impacts of the Missouri River reach well beyond its banks,” MRJWB chairman Wade Bachmeier said. “The issues facing the river and their effects on future water usage in our state should be a concern to all citizens of North Dakota. I urge everyone to attend one of our meetings to find out how we can all work together to put the Missouri River to beneficial use for all North Dakotans.”
