Hamon, Executive <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Missouri River Basin Hydrology Study Final Report <br /> <br />DATE: September 2, 19&3 <br /> <br />One copy of the Missouri River Basin Hydrology Study Final Report is enclosed <br />for your information and use. Publication of this report effectively ends the study; <br />but as you know, we have entered the operational phase where we are using and <br />improving the database and testing the QUERY program which was developed as part <br />of the study activity. <br /> <br />This ends three years of work which was begun at the Missouri River Governors' <br />Conference held in Omaha, Nebraska, May 3-5, 1977. Then Governor Joseph Teasdale <br />of Missouri introduced the following resolution which was seconded by then Governor <br />J. James Exon of Nebraska and passed unanimously: <br /> <br />"That the several States that together comprise the Missouri <br />River Basin petition the Federal Government - through the <br />Missouri River Basin Commission - to develop within the <br />several States a cooperative water data system adequate for <br />assessing the current and future water uses within the Basin. <br />This data base is to be used as a predictive tool to evaluate <br />effects of individual water development projects in the Basin <br />as they relate to long-range planning, water use and water <br />needs. fI <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />The Missouri River Basin Hydrology Study was initiated to address those needs, <br />and federal funds were made available for a start in 1980. Each of the Missouri <br />basin states matched the federal funds with in-kind services. With termination of the <br />Commission on September 30, 1981, the Missouri Basin States Association assumed <br />responsibility for and completed the study. <br /> <br />Copies of the report are being sent to each of the basin governors, the basin <br />congressional delegation, study participants and a list of individuals and organizations <br />which previously expressed interest in receiving a copy of the final report. We do <br />have some extra copies that can be made available upon request. <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />CMH/pr <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />President. William W. Crew.. Iowa <br />Secretary. WarnD R.
