A comprehensive water management plan that responds to adverse navigation conditions on the Mississippi River does not exist. An integrated approach to water management for navigation during low river flow conditions is suggested. An integrated approach would examine the combined capabilities of all basin sources to respond to low flow conditions on the Mississippi. Primary water sources that could augment flow of the Mississippi, and therefore the ones examined in this paper, include the Lake Michigan (Chicago) diversion, the Missouri River main stem reservoirs, and the Minnesota headwaters lakes. This paper is conceptual and therefore does not address all benefits or problems associated with the development of an integrated plan.
