Now that the EIS has been released, we can confirm what we already suspected. Prepared by a member of the American Petroleum Institute — clear conflict of interest — the EIS addresses none of Standing Rock's many grave concerns about #DAPL. Those include DAPL's imminent threat to the #MissouriRiver, big problems with Energy Transfer's' emergency response plans, Energy Transfer's horrendous #safety track record,

Mountain snowpack supplying the #MissouriRiver Basin was near average on March 1. The amount of water stored in the river's six reservoirs was 46.0 MAF, below the flood control zone which starts at 56.1 MAF. There is enough water in the river for water supply needs, despite the low runoff totals and ongoing #water conservation measures.

The Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains have received a lot of snow, with much of the runoff expected to replenish the soil profile after #drought. Consequently, the runoff forecast for the Upper #MissouriRiver basin is for below-average runoff this year.

Wild weather in January helped improve #drought conditions in much of the U.S. but lingering dryness continues to affect #agriculture and the #ColoradoRiver and #MissouriRiver basins.

The Missouri River Basin has areas of intense #drought as precipitation in the last three years has been below normal for most of the region.
Above Sioux City, Iowa, precipitation has been mostly 20 to 60 inches in the last three years (upper right), or about 70% to 90% of normal (lower right).
#MissouriRiver
The Upper Missouri River is being managed for low flows this winter as precipitation has been below normal, leading to low reservoirs. Although at present, the snowpack in some areas is high. The Army Corps of Engineers also manages for floods.

In 2022, Missouri River basin runoff above Sioux City, Iowa totaled 19.3 million acre-feet, 75% of average.
This was the 30th lowest annual runoff for the #MissouriRiver Basin in 125 years of record-keeping. #Drought is expected to persist in much of the basin.

The flow of the Missouri River from a South Dakota dam is being reduced to the minimum winter rate. Drought in the Northern Plains led to reduced runoff into the river and its six reservoirs, which are lower than normal for this time of year.
