A task force set up by last year’s legislature is drawing maps for new natural resource districts in South Dakota. The law behind the process moves water management to drainage basins instead of county lines.
Jay Gilbertson is Manager of the East Dakota Water Development District in Brookings and isn’t sure of the intent of the law…..

Gilbertson says they still have no clear direction from the task force….

The task force, which meets again next month, is working through the district maps and director election process.
