FARGO, N.D. — Just last fall, the reservoirs and rivers here in the Red River Valley were so low from drought that Mayor Dennis R. Walaker of Fargo was concerned that the faucets and shower heads in his city would run dry. Now, Fargo residents are bracing for water that is expected to come rushing over those once-parched riverbanks.
As winter’s bite gives way to spring sunshine, weather forecasters are predicting that this region will almost certainly face devastating floods for the fourth time in five years as the snow melts.
