Digitized by Backstage Library Works. Pages were scanned at 400 ppi on Fujitsu fi-5650C sheetfed scanner as 8-bit grayscale or 24-bit RGB uncompressed TIFF images. For ContentDM access the images were resampled to 750 pixels wide and 120 dpi and saved as JPEG (level 8) in PhotoShop CS with Unsharp Mask of 100/.3. Foldout pages larger than 11" x 14" were captured using a BetterLight Super 8K-2 digital camera back on a 4x5 view camera (100mm Schneider APO lens). Oversize images were resampled to 1500 pixels wide. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) by ABBYY FineReader 7.0 with manual review. |

igation, and other purposes. Water power, there- fore, is intimately linked with other water use functions and should be accomplished in step with improvements for these purposes. Under present programs, power can be devel- oped in connection with irrigation projects such as storage reservoirs in the basin, transmountain diver- sions into the basin, and diversions out of the valley. Further irrigation in connection with the Blue- South Plafcte diversion project would permit con- structing additional hydroelectric power facilities. Reservoir projects on the main stem between Fort Peck and Vankton, included in the authorized plans primarily for navigation and flood control, will pro- vide ultimate installations aggregating about 1.4 million kilowatts, or almost 60 percent of the power to be provided under the approved plans. Com- paratively small amounts of power also may be de- veloped at flood control reservoirs on lower basin tributaries. The possible future provision of slack-water navi- gation on the Missouri River between Yankton and the mouth would make possible the development of some 2.2 million kilowatts of generating capacity in the area of greatest need. Such development would improve navigation conditions by reducing velocities, and help resolve possible conflicts be- tween consumptive use of water upstream and navi- gation requirements downstream.44 It would also improve the character and value of power pro- duced at rxiain stem reservoirs by eliminating the need to conserve water for navigation months, a procedure which results in reduced flow during winter months, and smaller power output. Power possibilities at reservoirs on lower basin tributaries would also be improved by slack-water navigation on the Missouri River. The large planned water releases from these tributary reser- voirs in th& interest of navigation on the Mississippi River coul
