The purpose of the study was to determine the present and future needs and value of municipal and industrial water supply and storage for water quality control on the Skunk River in the reaches affected by the proposed reservoirs. This includes parts of the following Iowa counties: Hamilton, Boone, Marshall, Polk, Jasper, Powshiek, Marion, Mahaska, Keokuk, Washington, Wapello, Jefferson, Henry, Lee and Des Moines. The water requirements and the means and benefits (both tangible and intangible) of meeting those requirements have been investigated. The scope of the study covers water storage needs during a one-hundred year study period, 1960 to 2060. |
