Analyses of water level elevations and discharge data on the lower Missouri River were made at four stations: Hermann, Missouri, at river mile 97.9; Waverly, Missouri, at river mile 293.5; St. Joseph, Missouri, at river mile 448.2; and Omaha, Nebraska, at river mile 615.9. Data were originally collected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey. Analysis was performed at all four stations on data collected between 1928 and early 1994. Trends for minimum, maximum, and mean water levels and discharge are all increasing at the three downriver stations. The same trend was not found at Omaha, but the data used for that station were questionable. The relationship between discharge and elevation...
