Simulation of the Effects of Devils Lake Outlet Alternatives on Future Lake Levels and Downstream Water Quality in the Sheyenne River and Red River of (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499615302)

Since 1992, Devils Lake in northeastern North Dakota has risen nearly 30 feet, destroying hundreds of homes, inundating thousands of acres of productive farmland, and costing more than $1 billion for road raises, levee construc-tion, and other flood mitigation measures. In 2011, the lake level is expected to rise at least another 2 feet above the historical record set in 2010 (1,452.0 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929), cresting less than 4 feet from the lake's natural spill elevation to the Sheyenne River (1,458.0 feet).
