<br />000617 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Riparian Habitat <br /> <br /> <br />Riverine habitat is deteriorating because of increased land use along <br /> <br /> <br />almost all waterways in the subbasin. This habitat is also declining along <br /> <br /> <br />shores of many lakes in the subbasin. <br /> <br /> <br />Fisheri~s Habitat <br /> <br /> <br />Sediment loading in the James and Big Sioux Rivers, accompanied by <br />increased nutrient levels, is inhibiting fish propogation. Sedimentation in <br />all lakes in Eastern South Dakota is decreasing fish habitat. <br />Fluctuating water levels in rivers and lakes throughout the subbasin are <br />causing fisheries habitat problems. <br />Endangered Species <br />The bald eagle is an endangered species living in the bluffs along the <br />Missouri River. <br /> <br />IRRIGATION <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Shortage <br />There is considerable interest in expanding the acres of privately <br />irrigated land because land suitable for irrigation exists in many portions of <br />the subbasin. However, two problems exist: (1) lack of information on how <br />much ground and surface water is available, and (2) where data have been <br />collected, no water of sufficient quantity or quality is available. <br /> <br />Large-scale water diversion opportunities exist at many points along <br /> <br />Missouri River and along some of the other major rivers in the subbasin. <br />Efficiency <br /> <br />Since water and energy will become increasingly expensive in the future, <br /> <br /> <br />efficient methods of transmitting water from available sources and delivering <br /> <br /> <br />the water to the crop will need to be developed and implemented. <br /> <br />H-2l <br />
