Published purpose

The project seeks to provide flood and drought risk hazard protection in the Mississippi Valley watershed through replacing a dam at Kashwakamak lake. This would mitigate the risk of dam overtopping and dam failure, which have been exacerbated by more frequent and more severe extreme weather events. Additionally, the project will significantly reduce economic losses and disruptions in the community that are created by both flooding and water shortages.
