The Flood Control Act of 1944 includes the Pick Sloan Missouri Basin Program which authorized the dams and reservoirs the Missouri has (6) interests: 1. hydro-electric power,2. recreation,3. water supply, 4. navigation, 5. flood control and 6. fish and wildlife. Even dams where no navigation is expected, the 6 intrest is what was used to authorize the construction even if that isn't what your primary interest is.



I had not realized that recreation was on the primary list. Either way, I agree that there was't a lot that could have been done to prevent this problem. There were just too many things lined up when the domino fell.
