BISMARCK — A new agency will soon take control of North Dakota's water resources and flood prevention efforts, and Gov. Doug Burgum has selected a familiar face to lead it.
Burgum announced Monday, July 26, he has appointed North Dakota Parks and Recreation Director Andrea Travnicek as the director of the state Department of Water Resources. If the State Water Commission approves the appointment later this week, Travnicek will be the first to helm the new department, which lawmakers voted earlier this year to establish as the "primary state water agency."

BISMARCK, N.D. (ND Forest Service) – As families prepare to enjoy North Dakota’s outdoor destinations over Memorial Day weekend, residents and visitors are encouraged to recreate responsibly by practicing fire safety.
While recent moisture has provided some relief from fire starts over the past few weeks, dry conditions still persist in many areas of the state with 98 percent of North Dakota experiencing some level of drought.
To view current fire restrictions by county, travelers can visit ndresponse.gov or contact their local emergency management office. Burn ban restrictions for state parks are derived from the county in which the park is located. Some burn bans also are determined by the fire danger rating and/or red flag warnings for a particular area. The fire danger rating is issued daily and also can be found at ndresponse.gov.
