HISTORICAL SKETCH

The North Dakota Water Users Association began when the North Dakota Reclamation Association and the Missouri Souris Projects Association were merged.  The Water Users Association was founded on February 21, 1959 and is governed by a Board of Directors of 25, four from each of four geographical districts (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest), eight elected from the state at-large, and the State Director of the National Water Resources Association.  Its first officers were:  L. C. Mueller, president; R. L. Dushinske, first vice-president; Maurice Harrington, second vice-president; Oscar Berg, secretary; and Murray Baldwin, treasurer.

The Water Users Association is a non-partisan, non-profit, statewide organization dedicated to obtaining optimum development, management, and beneficial use of North Dakota's water resources.  The Association coordinates efforts and cooperates with federal, state, and local agencies in securing authorizations and appropriations for construction of land and water development projects which have the approval of the State of North Dakota and affected localities.  The Water Users Association has actively supported many projects, such as Garrison Diversion and other key features in the Pick-Sloan Plan for development of the Missouri River Valley; creation of the Missouri River Basin and Souris Red-Rainy Basins Commissions; the Southwest Pipeline Project, which is designed to deliver Missouri River water to the cities and towns of southwest North Dakota; the effort to convince the federal government not to make acquisitions of land, but rather manage land held properly for wildlife; weather modification projects to study weather patterns; and park and recreation development in the state.

The multi-purpose Garrison Diversion Project has been the Water Users major development.  Water Users Association Resolution No. 1 on October 6, 1959, pledged continued support and cooperation of all its members in the plans and programs of the Diversion District.  Plans for irrigation of a million acres of North Dakota land was a long range plan in 1965, but insufficient funding and political opposition to Garrison Diversion has slowed progress.

Though Garrison Diversion and the Missouri River have been the major concern of the Water Users Association, many other river projects have been completed or are in progress, such as the Pembina River, Park River, Kindred and Pipestream Dams; Versippi Dam; Starkweather Watershed; Sheyenne River, James River Development; Bowman-Haley, Dam; North Fork River; and the Cannonball River.  On-going projects of the Water Users Association are the Southwest Pipeline Project, Garrison Diversion, wetlands issues, "swampbuster" legislation, water education programs, Mid-Dakota Reservoir, legislative funding, and weather modification.

Subject files date from 1959-1988 and measure 14.5 ft. The files document the efforts of the Association to coordinate the activities of federal, international, state, and local agencies dealing with North Dakota's land and water resources.  Included in the files are reports on environment applications for permits to divert water; ecological reports on the Pembina River Basin and whooping crane habitat;  minutes of the Devils Lake Advisory Committee, North Dakota Irrigation Association, Legislative Agriculture Committee, and the State Water Commission; audit reports of the Water Resources Congress; correspondence with the Audubon Society, state and national legislatures, out-of-state water councils and Canadian representatives; brochures on irrigation equipment and Garrison Dam; newspaper clippings on wetland preservation, Devils Lake Basin study and funding of Channel A, weather modification, the gasification boom, and Garrison Diversion; and hearings before the U.
