The Lower Missouri Subbasin lacks adequate data on land use <br />and water needs necessary for proper planning and <br />management. A study to obtain such information is <br />recommended. The need for land use and water related <br />program planning is particularly needed in Iowa. <br /> <br />G. Projected power demands will necessitate construction of <br />additional power plants in the subbasin. Resources are <br />available for additional power generation, but attendant <br />environmental problems and adequacy of sufficient water <br />supplies remain to be determined. <br /> <br />H. Existing recreational facilities are overtaxed, and a lack <br />of facilities exists in certain areas of the subbasin. <br />Also, access for water-oriented recreation along the <br />Missouri River and Marias des Cygnes Basin is limited. One <br />possible solution is additional development of recreation at <br />Federal reservoirs. State constitutions prevent the future <br />commitment of funding needed to obtain cost sharing for <br />recreation purposes as required by section 221, 1974 Flood <br />Control Act. It is recommended that the States work with <br />their respective Federal congressional delegations to amend <br />the law and to develop workable cost sharing for <br />recreational facilities on Federal reservoirs. <br />
