A Solution Thirty Years in the Making: The Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Project
Wednesday July 22, 2026 8:00am - 8:50am CDT
BCC - Smith (28 Class / 45 Theater)
After the devastation of the 1997 flood, there was agreement in the Fargo-Moorhead community that something needed to be done to prevent a repeat of the catastrophic damages. Planning began for what would become the FM Area Diversion. The process has included studies, permits, Congressional action and hard work from many key entities, including the USGS. Now, the community is on track to have permanent, reliable flood protection by 2027. This presentation will outline the project and USGS's involvement leading up to, during, and post project development.

Peak Flow Visualization Tools
Wednesday July 22, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
BCC - Lackey (54 Tiered Class Only)
USGS peak-flow data is one of the most important datasets used to assess flood risk in the United States. This presentation will discuss tools for visualizing USGS peak-flow data and indirect discharge measurements to improve accessibility of USGS flood data. These tools can be used to easily find what USGS peak-flow data are available in an area to inform operations during and after floods events and identify data for use in flood frequency studies.
