A well done documentation. Steps that have been taken so far has put a small light at the end of the tunnel for many. The city of Devils Lake is thriving, the resorts are doing well, and some farmers are gaining back a portion of their much needed farm land. But what about the wage earning rural families who were EXPENDABLE and lost their homes to the flood, who left with a mortage they are still paying for and are still taxed for a place they can't nor will never be able to move back to.
The stories of these families were ignored by the news media because they would have to report how the government ignored them and their needs and showed that these wage earning rural families who struggled at times just to make ends meet were indeed expendable. While millions were spent in the immediate Devils Lake area, not a cent was expended in the rural area of Churchs Ferry.
they actually had to raise the safe levels of all contanimtes because of the poor design on the inlet to the pumps. But all these pumps wouldn't help if the farmers are allowed to keep putting in and keep using drain tiles in the basin or drain into the basin.
Comment 1: One thing thats weird about the Devil's Lake flooding is that there is also flooding in West Texas and in Southern Louisiana in the wetlands. West Texas, southern Louisiana and North Dakota are similar to each other in one regard---all three areas have a history of oil drilling in their states. The Bakken shale, and the Wiiliston Basin are two primary ND areas where oil drilling has occurred since at least the early 1950s. in increased fashion. I wonder if any deleterious interior earth changes could play a role in creating the Devil's Lake flooding which could be the case in West Texas, and southern Louisiana. The You tube web site: "Think again, restoring and protecting the Gulf Coast" At the --32:35- - 33:52 mark a panel discussion was taking place among some Louisiana state officials on the flooding gulf waters dissipating the wetlands. One official stated that levees could be perhaps erected but would be inadequate for preventing the gulf waters from flooding the wetlands and making them disappear. Then a geologist from the USGS said something interesting: "Its not the ocean eroding the Louisiana coastline thats the problem but the land sinking. " end quote.That sinking could come from the effects of prominent interior earth changes such as a dangerously unstable "earth axis state of being" as the North Texas State geography professor Janet Starr Hull stated in one of her articles. She has a facebook site called The Extinction Theory. The axis has become dangerously unstable since 2000 and water levels rising, earthquakes, volcanoes becoming more numerous and powerful, is a result and consequence of an increasing instability in the earth's axis. Not only that, there has been discovered a buried underground volcano in southern Louisiana that has shown signs of possible activation. A sinkhole or water feature near the volcano has bubbles popping up on its surface. And this event had local officials and geologists concerned. The you tube video: "Volcano buried in Louisiana near Sinkhole Door Point--Volcano has BP worried". If BP is worried about an active volcano emerging which is a deep interior earth phenomena linked and interwoven to and with the land sinking on the Louisiana coast, then the flooding seen in Louisiana could be due to seismic, magma and other geological phenomena under the Louisiana ground, that is interior earth changes.. Not flooding waters from the gulf making the wetlands coastal region disappear. Going underwater such lands would be. I wonder if such similar geological changes underground in the Devils Lake region could create the flooding and disappearance of adjacent acres of land going under water and disappearing, like in Louisiana. Once again, North Dakota and Louisiana both have extensive oil drilling going on in their states for decades, such drilling activity could aggravate, or weaken the geology of both states that in turn could further impact in detrimental fashion any dangerous and harmful interior earth changes that have appeared since 2000 and such harmful changes still going on today in the earth's interior that could result from a now grown dangerous earth axis instability. ....continued in comment 2.
I wish y'all could send that water down here in Lake Mead. That of course would be impossible but I strongly believe that it would be better to have too much water than too little.
Comment 2:One interesting feature of Devil's Lake is that it was formed by glacial dynamics separating the land in the area. It was not formed for example by the Army Corp of engineers going into a stable crust land mass and clearing trees and digging out twenty to thirty feet of ground in order to create a wide lake. Seismic and prominent geological forces created this lake involving a glacier retreat. That means prominent fault lines connected deeper into the earth most likely exist in and around the Lake's smooth tabletop basin floor. Any changes in the deep earth interior ---such changes from an unstable earth axis, could affect and activate these fault lines and in turn affect the general character of the lake itself. Something similar to Louisiana's buried volcano possibly being activated by deep earth interior changes and with that playing a role in creating the land sinking and flooding in La. .Also the you tube video: Is "west Texas sinking"< This video conveys the land sinking in West Texas with sinkholes appearing and lakes forming and flooding where roads and land are disappearing underwater. Conditions much like those in the Devil's Lake region. At the --1:20-----1:30-- mark of the video, the SMU geologist studying the West Texas phenomena had to be pressed by the interviewer on the issue of the fact gas and oil drilling was the cause of the land sinking and flooding taking place in West Texas. The geologist initially stated in response that the land sinking was gas and oil related which meant other more deep earth causes could be in play creating the land sinking in West Texas. Besides oil and gas drilling. A second you tube video: " Wide sections of Texas are sinking and growing" CBSDFW- THe land sinking is covered also in this report. Instead of simply west Texas sinking the whole gulf coast into Florida evidently is sinking also, as a map in the video relates. So land sinking is occurring along the Gulf Coast and thus playing a central role in creating the flooding in those southern US regions. Could the same be true for the Devil's Lake flooding: Land sinking that is. Like in the gulf regions and west Texas. The you tube video: "The sinkhole thats swallowing Louisiana" - at the 2:22-2:25 mark, methane emmissions are covered as a feature of the bubbling that occurs in the La. sinkhole and with that phenomena the possibility deep within the earth are factors to be found for creating the sinkhole and its expanding waters and flooding. As this time segment relates. Yamal Peninsula in the far north artic areas of Russia too have mysterious sinkholes appearing and like Louisiana, their sinkholes have methane emissions. Flooding is occurring there in Yamal and large tracts of land are disappearing in flooding. Like in North Dakota...continued in comment 3-----
Comment 3: The you tube video: "The Permafrost Mystery: Scientists explore giant Yamal Sinkhole." These mysterious sinkholes have appeared in this northernmost peninsula of Yamal and flooding has occurred there where large acres of land have gone underwater----conditions much like Devil's Lake. The native Indian family along with Russian scientists are central subjects in the video along with the sinkholes. Thus the Yamal sinkholes too are much like the West Texas sinkholes with land sinking and flooding waters as the video "Is west Texas sinking" relates. Interestingly a second you tube video : "Safe zones around the world crustal pole shift floods. " This video communicates a future pole shift occurring in earth's future resulting in flooding on a massive scale. Thus a radical pole shift would create massive flooding. Janet Starr Hull's scientific research finding earth's axis dangerously unstable, is a subject found in this video. In the video at the 1:45 mark. An Edgar Cayce map displaying regions of the earth that will be flooded and thus their land masses disappearing underwater is given. The northern Russian coastline (including Yamal Peninsula within such far north coastline) and the US gulf coast are two regions set to be flooded when the dangerously unstable earth axis shifts. And here geologically unstable conditions with flooding of their land masses is occurring. I wonder if any of these geologic factors could be present in the Devil's Lake region. The web site: "The Spiritual notebook -internet archives". This is an Eckankar work written by Paul Twitchell. On page 181, he relates nuclear testing damage has weakened earth's interior and with this weakening earthquakes will sink large areas of the earth resulting in these areas being flooded. And humanity dying out. Like Cayce's pole shift this catastrophic event will occur in mid 21st century. An out of control earth axis could be central in bringing on these land mass sinking and flooded regions of the earth. Ad once again the flooding from Devil's Lake raises the question, since there are definite similarities of Devil's Lake with West Texas, southern Louisiana and Yamal Peninsula could further geologic factors be in play for creating the flooding at devil's Lake. Its a potential interesting issue to consider in the future. Along with large rains such as in 1993.
The Devil's lake flooding sounds a little bizarre and inaccurate-----there are a lot of things that don't add up. First, according to this video in 1993 heavy rains began appearing in eastern North Dakota resulting in the beginning of systemic flooding in Devil's Lake that has been going on for 27 years now.That in itself is bizarre because one is talking about a major meteorological change in North Dakota where precipitation has markedly increased and not only that such increase has stayed constant for 27 years. Thus the norm for that areas weather status has changed significantly and such more stabler pre 1993 norm has vanished.I haven't found a meteorologist state or analyze and thus relate such a significant change in the weather and atmospheric conditions in North Dakota that would bring on something of a continuous minor monsoon activity in ND. as detailed in this video. There needs to be a group of seasoned meteorologists assessing and analyzing the atmospheric data and weather in general in eastern North Dakota and giving a scientific explanation and data report on the nature of this major dubious weather pattern change that has occurred in 1993 and onwards and remaining constant for 27 years. There are no other creeks, rivers, lakes or ponds in eastern North Dakota that have experienced such sudden marked flooding that has stayed constant for 27 years since 1993. That I know of. If the rains have picked up and grown more heavy in eastern North Dakota since 1993 it would seem that these other water topographical features---------lakes rivers ect. -------would be flooding. This above video would have greatly benefited more if a thorough meteorlogical analysis were presented centering on this sudden change and increase in precipitation patterns in the ND locales. If such a change actually exists. If it does it needs to be better characterized. Scientifically. And related to the citizens of eastern ND. Another message of mine in August 2020 goes further into the DEvil's Lake situation. I'lll try to post it on the 18th &/or the 19th.
Im all for the Environment. But you have to be Flexible in Life. I think you Can protect the Critter and the Farmer. Both are very important to our Future.

It’s sad, my grandpa had land there. I remember this being a big deal to farmers there and no one was happy. But their voices were not heard.
they actually had to raise the safe levels of all contanimtes because of the poor design on the inlet to the pumps. But all these pumps wouldn't help if the farmers are allowed to keep putting in and keep using drain tiles in the basin or drain into the basin.

Looking at google map thrs alot of roads that r flooded.
Not one word about filtration.
Not one word about the impact of unfiltered Devils Lake water on Lake Winnipeg.
You know it's bad when they want a drought.
At least they got something done unlike other projects
Can you imagine living during the ancient times when the worlds ocean rose 400 feet in a mellinia. Nature is one powerful mistress.
sad story, but as farmers know mother nature always wins
The farmers make more from the lake than without the lake from lodging and guiding

In North Dakota, they actually want a drought lol. Here in California, we want as much rain as possible.
They sure got it now...
Rimone, this is Devil's Lake, North Dakota

Oops my mistake, I didn't realize Devil's Lake is a terminal lake. Yet there are still some other features with the lake situation Thats interesting.
Im all for the Environment. But you have to be Flexible in Life. I think you Can protect the Critter and the Farmer. Both are very important to our Future.
I hate this idea of taking water away from the lake
My uncles made the gravity is free sign
i thought 💭 this was devils lake state park 😭. but thank god. seems like it's human problem more than a dakota problem 💡
Majority of these construction are paid for by Hmong people.
There are PLENTY of places that DESPERATELY need water. How can they complain about such a blessing! Just figure out what to do with the extra.❤️
Let nature take its course. If you don't like nature that just too damn bad.
