dc.description.abstractIn response to catastrophic flooding in the lower Missouri basin, Congress enacted the Flood Control Act of Dec 1944. This statute authorized the Army Corps of Engineers to construct and operate five massive earthen dams on the main stem of the Missouri River for flood control, navigation and hydropower. The Bureau of Reclamation was authorized to build numerous smaller dams on the tributaries to the Missouri River, primarily for irrigation and recreation. The projects authorized in the 1944 Flood Control Act are collectively referred to as the “Pick-Sloan Plan.”en_US
