DescriptionFloods on the Red River (2).jpg	English: This image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite, shows the flooded river around Fargo. The scene is entirely white except for the slate gray squiggles formed by the Red River and its tributaries. The gray-brown tones around the river channel are flooded regions. The water has spread into a wide lake north of Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota. The river is clearly flooded south of the two cities as well. The pavement and buildings of Fargo and Moorhead give the urban areas a darker color under the snow than the surrounding squares of farmland. The two cities straddle the river and are a slightly lighter shade of gray than the flood. The effectiveness of the levees is evident in the image: without the levees, the river would likely have flooded as it did up and downstream of the cities.
