Compared to what is in the Red River I am supprised anything is undesirable. There is actually a treaty between the US and Canadia that says neither can cause a discharge of water that will injure the other. That is a huge concern for the US and the Army Corps. The fish like the carp will make it through the gate, no so likely the pumps. Once in DL they will make it upstream to Canada. So I don't think there is any simple solution. The fact is we are having worse floods and not worse moisture. This is cause specificlly in this area by the draining of the praire pot holes (over 1/2 of it is gone)and putting drain tilling in fields. Urban development also contributes (have you flown into Fargo lately ? all us small towners that didn't leave the state seemed to have moved there). I know of rivers and creeks in ND that used to run all summer, and now only flood and run for a few weeks in the spring. The acceleration of water drainage to all the great midwest rivers, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri ect are largly responsible for the flooding in North Dakota and the lower Missippi river. I have sympathy for the DL region but save massive plantings of grass, and plugging tiles and canals not much can be done. It would also recharge the aquifers, many endangered now, espically the oglala that sits under my farm.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
