Produced to provide background information for a revised overall plan for the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District, this report includes detailed sections on the watershed's lakes and streams; specific pollution problems (e.g., sewage, landfill, and agricultural); ground and surface water; hydrologic conditions; flooding; and recreational, industrial, and public aspects. Each section provides recommendations for future action; recommendations are also categorized by the agency or group that would find them of interest. Numerous maps and charts illustrate the text.
