Flooding occurs in many small <br /> <br />communities where presently no feasible and acceptable structural solutions are <br />available. To address these problems, a number of studies are recommended for <br />the post-1986 period, by which time social or economic conditions may have <br />changed enough to warrant new investigation. These studies involve the Boyer <br />River, Floyd River Basin, Little Sioux River Basin, Nishnabotna River Basin, <br />Soldier River Basin, and papillion Creek and tributaries. <br />Many small watershed projects are recommended for rural areas, although <br /> <br />many rural flooding problems remain unaddressed. Because watershed planning <br /> <br />and construction costs are quite high and the funding level for this program is <br /> <br />relatively low, the need for this program will exist for a good many years. <br />The important problem of loss of wetlands and effects on fish and wildlife <br />caused by construction, operation, and maintenance of the navigation on the <br /> <br />Missouri River main stem is addressed by the Corps of Engineers' Missouri River <br /> <br /> <br />Fish and wildlife Mitigation Study. Another important recommendation concerns <br /> <br /> <br />the problem of municipal, industrial, and rural water supply. In recreation <br /> <br /> <br />orientated growth areas, utility systems have not kept up with the demand. <br />Coordinated region-wide, water-delivery systems are needed. The plan <br /> <br />recommends that restrictions in the Farmers' Home Administration's rural water <br /> <br />supply program preventing the design of rural water and wastewater disposal <br />systems for future expansion be removed. <br /> <br />8-11 <br />
