Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Blackwater-Lamine River Basin, encompassing 1,702,300 acres or 2659.84 square miles in eight counties, is 3.8 percent of the state, and has an average length of 65 miles and a width of 40 miles. It is located south of the Missouri River in west-central Missouri, and is part of Sub-Region 8, Missouri River Basin. The basin divides into two major subbasins, the Blackwater River having a drainage area of 991,600 acres or 1549.33 square miles and the Lamine River having a drainage area of 710,700 acres or 1110.51 square miles. The basin is primarily an agricultural area with a total population of 107,000. The broad objective of this study is to provide information needed by decision makers for the orderly conservation, development, management and utilization of the water and land resources. The State of Missouri objectives included the following: the conservation, development, management and use of water and land resources to meet seasonal and long-range requirements; contribute to the local economic base; implementation for recreation experience; retention of historic uniqueness and apply the multiple use concept to serve the greatest number of people. During the study, Principles and Standards were developed by the U.S. Water Resource Council. To the extent possible, this new policy was used as illustrated by the displays of three alternative plans and the evaluations using the 4 account system.
