Water Irrigation
North Dakota is poised to deliver water through its rivers, natural underground aquifers and lakes such as Sakakawea, America's largest man-made reservoir. Many of these surface and ground water supplies are undeveloped and ready for use by new and existing businesses. In addition, North Dakota is home to Garrison Dam, a hydroelectric power generation facility.

The continuing development of North Dakota's agriculture and corresponding food processing industry has had a direct effect on irrigation acres.
North Dakota has grown irrigated acres from about 190,000 in 1990 to over 245,000 acres in 2002. While this is a significant increase, it only scratches the surface of our irrigation potential.
