The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Water Resource Center and Missouri’s Safe Drinking Water Program has the responsibility of assisting state residents in assuring an adequate and safe water supply. As a result, a water supply study has been ongoing to ensure availability of water information for effective decision-making by communities and MDNR program managers. One of the benefits of the study is to determine and allocate existing water supplies, with the scope of the study to addresses surface-water supplies for cities and communities that are expected to experience water shortages during an extended drought. Surface-water supplies consist of lakes and streams and in many cases combinations of both. Water supply lake bathymetric surveys are integral to the water availability assessments during potential water shortages.
