He noted the James River basin lies largely in North and South Dakota, with Huron relying on this water supply while discussing dam upgrades, artesian wells, and the basin’s hydrology and potential for drought relief.

Rainfall figures tell of Huron water supply risks
Government data show Huron averaged 12.57 inches of precipitation over three years, with a peak in 1930 at 30.14 inches and a dry 1925 at 10.13 inches. A 1931 drought pushed river levels down, prompting a survey of springs feeding the James River and the drilling of two artesian wells, while officials warn that drought and evaporation threaten local water and favor Missouri River diversion.
