Watershed Management Above Drinking Water Reservoirs
This manual was developed to help residents, municipalities and agricultural producers understand their roles and responsibilities within a watershed above a drinking water reservoir. Public water suppliers need to be aware of their legal responsibilities to guarantee safe water. Maximum contamination levels (MCLs) are set by federal regulations, and strict testing procedures must be followed to ensure safe drinking water for the public.

Missouri River Communities Network Website
The Missouri River Communities Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization whose mission is to enhance stewardship of the Missouri River. The organization started after the 1993 flood on the river when many people realized the need for average citizens to become educated about the river and more involved in helping to make decisions about how it is managed. In 1998 MRCN started the Manitou Bluffs Project that focuses our efforts on the Missouri River Corridor between Rocheport and Jefferson City, Missouri. The goal of the project is to create a broad based Public-Private Partnership (PPP) that will include local land owners, farmers, environmentalists, hunters and fishermen, city and town representatives, business owners, resource representatives from state and federal agencies, and other interested citizens.
