<br /> <br />there are many basinwide and statewide programs which relate to <br />several or all of the subbasins. To include each of the programs <br />wi th all of the subbasins to which they relate would have <br />required repeating most of the elements throughout the report. <br />This organization serves, therefore, to eliminate a large amount <br />of duplication and significantly shortens the report. <br /> <br />Much of the material presented in this report is broken down <br />into 14 water resources functions. These are categories which <br />are intended to characterize the main thrust of specific planning <br />objectives, problems or opportunities, and recommended programs. <br />The functions or categories used are the following: <br /> <br />o Comprehensive Planning and SUpport Activities <br />o Flooding <br />o Fish and Wildlife <br />o Irrigation <br />o Land Conservation and Management <br />o Municipal, Industrial, and Rural Domestic Water Supply <br />o Natural, Historic, and Cultural Resources <br />o Power and Energy <br />o Water-Associated Outdoor Recreation <br />o Transportation <br />o Water Quality <br />o Legal and Insti tutional Factors <br />o Instream Flows <br />o Weather Modification <br /> <br />Chapter 2 of the report, "Missouri River Basin,' describes <br />the Missouri Basin's physical; biological, socioeconomic, water <br />resources, and legal and institutional characteristics, an <br />overview of the basinwide plan, recommended basinwide and <br />statewide programs, and a set of conclusions and additional <br />recommendations which apply to the entire Missouri Basin. The <br />recommended programs in this and each subbasin chapter are <br />presented in a tabular format. The listing for each recommended <br />program shows the lead agency, major functions, status, type, <br />schedule, location, main) features, and cost. <br /> <br />The conclusions and additional recommendations provided in <br />the basinwide chapter and each subbasin chapter generally address <br />actions which need to be taken in addi tion to implementing the <br />recommended programs. Where the needed action is not clear at <br />this time or where no addi tional action is needed, only <br />conclusions are drawn. <br /> <br />-8'- <br />
