Rising lake bedevils N D residents in Bottineau area
North Dakota faces widespread wet fields as Devils Lake swells. In Bottineau County three-fourths of cropland remains unplantable after heavy rains. Minnewaukan and Churchs Ferry fear relocation as lake rises about 24 feet in seven years. Officials consider dikes, town mergers, and costly drainage options. Army Corps of Engineers flags $103 million outlet plan as too pricey now.
