[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 50895, member: 337"] right espringers If you look at the pic you see it naturally backs up toward the south NOW and this is exacerbated by the "constriction" of the levees, etc. forcing it to flow through a narrow channel in town. Fargo Moorhead was founded on a little bit of a high spot long ago. Now that drainage systems basin-wide have been made super efficient with county ditches, tile, etc. and with a wet cycle hammering the region it's simply the hand we're dealt. The system has to raise the water somewhat in order to get it to flow around the diversion... just the relatively small increase in elevation necessary means bad bongos upstream. This place is FLAT. The Red River drops about 1 foot for every mile of travel. It's just a crazy bad place to engineer things to get water to run around - rather than through - the city proper.
