Missouri River Municipal and Industrial Reallocation Study
The Missouri River Municipal and Industrial Water Storage Reallocation Study (authorized by Section 216 of the 1970 Flood Control Act) will systemically and comprehensively examine whether some amount of the storage included in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ six mainstem Missouri River reservoirs for authorized project purposes may be allocated solely to municipal and industrial water supply. The study will also examine the effects of such a reallocation on the authorized purposes and operations of the mainstem reservoirs.
