River diversion not the only issue on official’s mind
Jake Gust is well-versed in the benefits of river diversions. He oversees the one protecting West Fargo from the Sheyenne River.
On his farm between Fargo and Harwood, Gust also benefits from a water storage project. The Maple River Dam upstream near Enderlin, N.D., keeps the floodwaters that flow across roads and through fields around his property from rising even higher.
