| Description: | Special Report Abstract: In recent years, drought conditions in the Missouri River basin have required more accurate control of releases at Gavins Point Dam, the furthermost downstream flow control structure on the river, to meet competing water needs for irrigation and recreation upstream and for navigation and municipal and industrial water supply downstream. In winter, ice accumulations can seriously affect flow distribution along the river. This paper summarizes a study of such ice effects. It proposes methods to determine minimum flow releases at Gavins Point Dam to meet downstream water supply without unduly depleting upstream reservoirs. |
