Upper Missouri basin hits a 10-year high
August 20, 2009
The effects of a very long-term drought are being broken in the upper Missouri River basin, where
North Dakota lakes fed by the Missouri are reaching their
highest levels since 1999. That's very good news for
communities downstream like Omaha and Sioux City, which depend upon the river for economic value as well as
raw water supplies.
