The concept of managing U.S. rivers as single, spatially-integrated systems across their entire watershed is an idea that has changed in complex ways over time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for example, is charged with river management responsibilities on the Missouri River [view report]. Six large Corps of Engineers dams cross the Missouri, and the Corps operates these dams with a systems-level perspective. On the Upper Mississippi River [view report], the Corps has been conducting a feasibility study regarding the prospects of extending several locks and dams on the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway navigation system. The WSTB, in cooperation with the NRC's Ocean Studies Board, has also commented on key issues involved in river basins and coastal systems planning [view report]. The WSTB has also provided advice regarding watershed management for potable water supply for New York City [view report]. The scientific bases for watershed management have also improved and changed over time, and the WSTB has issued reports on watershed research in the U.S. Geological Survey [view report] and on science-based watershed management [view report].
