<\/a>Living with Water is a five weekend series focusing on flooding along the Red River in North Dakota.<\/p>\n The series started with \u201cLiving with Water: Red River living since settlement<\/a>\u201d, which examined the history of the river in relation to the people who have lived along it.<\/p>\n In historical times, trappers and early settlers mentioned the spring flood. The first pictures of Red River flooding were taken in 1897, during the second largest flood on record.<\/p>\n After the 1950 flood, large earthworks were put into place to prevent widespread flooding. They had mostly contained the river until the 1997 flood.<\/p>\n The last three years have seen very high water conditions.<\/p>\n
