The Sheyenne River Diversion Dam, located in West Fargo, North Dakota, is a concrete multi-arch dam completed in 1972 by the North Dakota State Water Commission (NDSWC) for the primary purpose of water supply. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 130 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 525 acre-feet, serving as a critical resource for the local community in Cass County.

Managed by the NDSWC, the Sheyenne River Diversion Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of North Dakota. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 32 feet and two Tainter radial gates for water release. While the dam is rated as having a significant hazard potential, its condition assessment is currently not rated, and its risk assessment is considered moderate.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering and design of the Sheyenne River Diversion Dam, which plays a vital role in providing water supply for the region. As a key infrastructure managed by the NDSWC, the dam's construction, storage capacity, and risk management measures highlight the importance of sustainable water resource management in ensuring the safety and well-being of local communities in North Dakota.
