Tour con't <br />miles of drainage ditches the <br />district manages, a potential <br />wetlands banking area, and <br />numerous flood control <br />projects. The group also <br />visited the site of the proposed <br />Mazsh Creek Detention Area, <br />Site #6, in Mahnomen County, <br />where the districts hopes to <br />soon construct a new flood <br />control project. <br />The guests also saw portions <br />of the levee rehabilitation <br />project along the Wild Rice <br />River near Ada, including <br />examples of erosion protection <br />measures, dike repairs, and <br />ring diking to protect local <br />farmsteads. <br />The wide variety of activities <br />the districts in the Red River <br />Basin participate in surprised <br />many tour participants. "Many <br />districts' primary activity is in <br />the area of water quality <br />issues, and many visiting <br />managers didn't realize the <br />different issues we face with <br />flooding and drainage due to <br />the typography of the water- <br />shed districts," said Jerry <br />Bennett, administrator of the <br />Wild Rice Watershed District. <br />"I think a lot of our guests left <br />with a better understanding of <br />what rural watershed districts <br />in the Red River basin and <br />upland areas deal with." <br />MAWD represents <br />Minnesota Board of Water and <br />Soil Resources <br />One West Water St. <br />Suite 200 <br />St. Paul, MiV 55107 <br />STEVE C;ATLIN/C.
