Compared to what is in the Red River I am supprised anything is undesirable. There is actually a treaty between the US and Canadia that says neither can cause a discharge of water that will injure the other. That is a huge concern for the US and the Army Corps. The fish like the carp will make it through the gate, no so likely the pumps. Once in DL they will make it upstream to Canada. So I don't think there is any simple solution. The fact is we are having worse floods and not worse moisture. This is cause specificlly in this area by the draining of the praire pot holes (over 1/2 of it is gone)and putting drain tilling in fields. Urban development also contributes (have you flown into Fargo lately ? all us small towners that didn't leave the state seemed to have moved there). I know of rivers and creeks in ND that used to run all summer, and now only flood and run for a few weeks in the spring. The acceleration of water drainage to all the great midwest rivers, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri ect are largly responsible for the flooding in North Dakota and the lower Missippi river. I have sympathy for the DL region but save massive plantings of grass, and plugging tiles and canals not much can be done. It would also recharge the aquifers, many endangered now, espically the oglala that sits under my farm.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
