In addition to structural and land development features, the plan
includes certain non-structural elements which in some instances are
complementary to, and in others, alternatives to structural measures.
Although management considerations will always be inherent in any re-
source development program, certain non-structural measures appear worthy
of implementation in the Missouri River Basin. These include a program
of flood plain management aimed at defining prudent uses of flood plain
lands as a means for arresting the climb of flood damages; and management
of forest lands and modification of the weather in the mountain areas of
the basin in order to increase water yields. The composition of these
measures is summarized in the preceding tabulation.

INVESTMENTS

,

.

Implementation of the plan features outlined above, which are phased
to meet requirements at certain time intervals, will require investments
of $7 billion by 1980, an additional $7 billion by 2000, and another
$7 billion by 2020, for a total of $21 billion by the year 2020. ~tudies
are currently underway to determine whether the' indicated investment
pattern is realistic and attainable. These studies are considering such
items as budgetary constraints, legal and institutional factors, and the
ability of residents of the region to assume certain monetary obligations.
In essence, a system of priorities will be established in order to devise
alternative investment patterns from which timing for elements of the plan
to be implemented will be realistic and attainability would be probable.
