  1. Landowner Survey

  2. Basinwide Landowner Survey • Mailed approximately 15,000 surveys to landowners • Received 1480 completed surveys • Overall response rate of approximately 10%

  3. Basinwide Landowner Survey • Called landowners first • Mailed 281 surveys to landowners • Received 117 completed surveys • Overall response rate of 41.6%

  4. Landowner Survey • Have you ever held back water on any of your land for any reason?

  5. Landowner Survey • Have you ever held back water on any of your land for any reason? • CRP • Beaver dams • So flat the water can't get out of here • Held back water on our land because overland flooding • Drainage problems • To reduce flooding downstream

  6. Landowner Survey • Do you ever experience problems with flooding on any of your land?

  7. Landowner Survey • Aside from weather events, what do you believe causes spring flooding on your land?

  8. Priority Issues in the Red River Basin –Basinwide • Please rate each of the following issues from 1 to 5, where 1 is a high priority and 5 is a low priority.

  9. Priority Issues in the Red River Basin – Non-response • Please rate each of the following issues from 1 to 5, where 1 is a high priority and 5 is a low priority.

  10. What do you believe are useful solutions for spring flooding problems in the Red River Basin?

  11. What do you believe are useful solutions for spring flooding problems in the Red River Basin?

  12. What do you believe are useful solutions for spring flooding problems in the Red River Basin?Top 6 Choices

  13. Landowner Survey Please select the level of risk that you believe exists for a significant spring flooding event to occur in the Red River Basin in the next 50 years.

  14. Landowner Survey • Yes, I would consider participation. Basinwide Non-response

  15. Landowner Survey • Willingness to Pay: Measures of Central Tendency

  16. Landowner Survey • What do you feel would be a reasonable solution for everyone involved to deal with spring flooding in the Red River Basin? • Everyone must do it. We used to have a waffle system but with a different name: the "Pothole system". All the flooding is a direct result of farmer drainage. I know this for a fact. I have lived on the farm all my life. Put gates on the culverts! • Don't build in flood plain! • I have no first hand knowledge but I strongly believe in preserving our wetland and water quality in our lakes and rivers. Let "Mother Nature" do her thing-NOT the Corps of Engineers! • We need to slow down the drainage from the east and the Minnesota side of the Red and from the west on the North Dakota side of the Red. Everyone needs to hold their own water long enough for it to drain into the Red and without spilling out of its Banks.. • Slow the water upstream- so downstream can take the amount of water coming and going   • The waffle program sounds like it might be a good idea. Dams DON’T work anywhere in the world. They are a disaster! Damn all dams!

  17. Landowner Survey • Do you have any questions or concerns that you would like to share or see addressed by the Waffle project now or in the future? • Who is in control? Would it then be a wetland? • Why are public lands being excluded? We have a significant problem with summer flooding, could this be addressed as well? • Send a topography of how these waffles might exist and how much water would be stored. • Which farmers get the most benefit from it and what are their participation level to this project? • Is it ecologically and environmentally sound? • Why should there be compensation to hold water??? We hold water every spring and summer free of charge. • How would hold the water there? Dikes? Gates? • How adequate are roads for storing water? They are roads not dikes. Will additional reinforcements be needed?  

  18. Landowner Survey • Do you have any questions or concerns that you would like to share or see addressed by the Waffle project now or in the future? • What is the cost/benefit? • Show me some designs- where has this been tried? Provide a detailed brochure • Details if indeed it were even feasible on our property. • I am on the edge of the Basin. What help would water storage on my land have? • Why should I store water, that is made to run to the river and drain? • How will water runoff be controlled above me before it runs through my land? • Test results- where was it used, what was the result on the land and that year's crop • Maps of the area in the proposed plan and where dikes and ditches would be built are modified
