<br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS AND ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />A. Bonny Reservoir, a Federal impoundment on the South Fork <br />Republican River in Colorado, has surplus water available. <br />Irrigable lands above and below the reservoir are in need of <br />a water supply. It is recommended that a feasibility study <br />be conducted by the State and local interests for supplying <br />irrigation needs as well as other planned water uses. <br /> <br />B. Urban flooding is a recurring problem on the Big Blue River <br />at Beatrice, Nebraska. Structural measures are not <br />economically justified. The city is currently conducting a <br />program of limited relocation and flood plain acquisition in <br />cooperation with the Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development to alleviate some damages. The Corps of <br />Engineers local protection project should be deauthorized. <br /> <br />C. Several ongoing and recently completed planning activities <br />deal with the Kansas Subbasin. These efforts need <br />coordination and evaluation of their recommendations for <br />cumulative effects. It is recommended that a level B study <br />of the Kansas Subbasin be initiated in 1982 by Missouri <br />River Basin Commission and affected Federal and State <br />agencies to develop a comprehensive water resources plan for <br />the subbasin. <br /> <br />-224- <br />
