Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Southeast Minnesota Tributaries Basin includes about 6,091 square miles and covers parts or all of the following counties: Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Scott, Steele, Waseca, Wabasha, and Winona. The basin drains into the Mississippi River by way of three major rivers, the Cannon, Root, and Zumbro, and a network of smaller tributaries. The basin population was 441,330 in 1970 and is projected to be 672,600 by the year 2000. This study is sponsored by the State Soil and Water Conservation Board. During the 1971 Minnesota Legislative Session, the Southern Minnesota Rivers Basin Board (SMRBB) was created and charged with developing and implementing a comprehensive environmental conservation and development plan for the basin. The SMRBB worked with the USDA throughout the study. They established a policy committee in the basin to obtain local input and guidance and sponsored a series of public meetings and tours. This study was initiated to: 1. Identify the present and projected water and related land resource problems. 2. Provide information and data for the statewide Comprehensive Water Management Plan. 3. Identify project opportunities and provide a basis for establishing project priorities. 4. Allow for an orderly installation of developments, based on urgency of need, that will meet the water and related land resource needs and promote social and economic improvement in keeping with overall objectives.
