The Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Project began in 2011 and will reduce the risk of future flooding throughout the entire Mouse River Basin. This flood protection project is managed by The Souris River Joint Board, which oversees activities related to the Mouse/Souris River in North Dakota. The board is made up of one representative from each of the four-county water boards (Renville, Ward, McHenry, and Bottineau) and one representative from the City of Minot, North Dakota.

This channel is primarily used to showcase project construction, organized by phases.
