Federal funds for the study <br />were provided through the U.S Water Resources <br />Council, and in-kind matching was provided <br />by the five states in the study area. The study was <br />Initialed by the Missouri Ri\ler Basin Commission <br />in late 1980 and completed by the Missouri Basin <br />States Association in September 1982 with <br />publication of a draft final report.
