Abstract
The Missouri River Basin is the scene of a widespread, multiple-purpose, water use and control program. The technical phases of the basic program, commonly referred to as the Pick-Sloan plan, are being developed under the leadership of the Missouri Basin Inter Agency Committee, with the able and enthusiastic cooperation of many federal, state, and local agencies. Although many other features are incorporated in the Missouri Basin program, reservoirs and storage are fundamental to its objectives. Present plans include some one hundred and five new federal reservoirs, in addition to the existing Fort Peck Reservoir built and operated by the Corps of Engineers and several smaller existing Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs in the basin.
