Red River Floodway
Okay kiddo, so imagine there's a big river called the Red River and sometimes when it rains a lot, the river gets too full and can flood nearby homes and businesses. But don't worry, people came up with a way to keep the water from flooding those places - it's called the Red River Floodway.
The floodway is like a big ditch that was built next to the river. When the water in the river gets too high, the floodway takes some of the extra water and carries it away from the city. This way, the water doesn't overflow the river and flood the homes and businesses.
The floodway is pretty impressive - it's 48 kilometers (or 30 miles) long and cost a lot of money to build. But it keeps people safe and dry, so it's definitely worth it.
