That's probably about right. I don't live in the area, but did work up there with a couple of rural water systems. Shallow (anything under 200 feet is considered shallow) ground water is hard to find, poor quality and limited quantity. (I worked in water development in the state for 32 years.) In NW SD, one of the rural water systems gets its water from a ND rural system that pumps water from the Missouri River. The Missouri has a main stem dam (Garrison) in central ND. It was built for flood control and irrigation, and now provides for domestic water usage, too. A large rural water system serves much of SW ND & a system in SD. SD also has a a couple of large rural water system too. The main stem resivours in SD cover 530,000 acres to prevent folding in the lower Missouri River valley & the Mississippi River below St Louis. (ND has over 400,000 acres under water for the same reason.) That's why the Bureau of Reclamation & Corps of Engineers have helped finance some of these systems. Down stream state residents have no clue how much water we keep up here to prevent flooding down stream. The Corps of Engineers can tell how much water and when to release it from Gavin's Point Dam in Yankton, SD to keep boats floating in late summer in New Orleans. The water originates in the Montana mountains, not the Dakotas, we just store it up here.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
