Do people in Fargo-Moorhead not realize the flooding is mostly due to the growth and development of the land?? In 97, there were way less houses and developed land in the area. And now today, its like trying to contain what once fit in a bowl, into a glass, The water level is going to be higher as it is not spread out... City Developers should have thought of this as they were building, and not after the fact when it is harder to put up permanent flood protection.
And i do think the city should have had a buffer zone where people cant build like so many feet from the river. My parents house is on the river, but its 500 yards through the woods... Yes they had to dike last year, and will again this year, but it is also cause the house sits at 37.5 ft. The only difference is that there is plenty of room to dike.
Some of these houses are built right on the river, with minimal yard space to even think about building permanent flood protection. This year, the dike in my parents yard will be made permanent. It will be rocked and landscaped on the house side, and grassed on the river side. They know it has to be done, and thats part of living where they do. I think if you choose to live on the river like them, you gotta man up and not bitch about it when it floods. it was their choice to move there, and they knew the risks and are just dealing with it and say "it is what it is"

Incase anyone is interested, I started a blog for this project, since obviously I can't post anything on a forum without getting attacked.
