FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF STREAMS
IN THE MISSOURI RIVER BASIN

I

Sub-basin 8 - Lower Missouri River Tributaries

ABSTRACT

I

Prerequisite to comprehensive planning for the development of the
water resources in a river basin is knowledge of the flow characteristics
of streams in the basin. Streamflow records, summarized in a format that
emphasizes high-flow, low-flow and variability characteristics, are pre-
sented in this report for streams which are tributary to the Missouri River
between Kansas City and St. Louis.

This report is one of a nine-part series, each part of which summarizes
flow characteristics at selected streamflow measuring stations in a major
sub-basin of the Missouri River basin. The names of the sub-basins, identi-
fying the complete set of reports, are as follows:

I

Sub-basin 1 - Upper Missouri River Tributaries

I

Sub-basin 2 - The Yellowstone Basin

I

Sub-basin 3 - Western Dakota Tributaries

Sub-basin 4 - Eastern Dakota Tributaries

I

Sub-basin 5 - The Platte-Niobrara Basin

Sub-basin 6 - Middle Missouri River Tributaries

I

Sub-basin 7 - The Kansas Basin

I

Sub-basin 8 - Lower Missouri River Tributaries

I

Sub-basin 9 - The Missouri River Main Stem
(Also includes data for areas in Upper and Lower
Mississippi and Hudson Bay basins)

For each gaging station selected for inclusion in this series of
reports, there is a brief description of its location, size of drainage
area, and average discharge followed by tables of flow duration ar.d high
and low-flow sequences. Also listed for each year of record are the average
discharge and the instantaneous peak discharge for each station.
