Resource Consultants & Engineers, Inc.. 1992. Sedimentation near the confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara Rivers : 1954 to 1990. M.R.D. Sediment Memoranda No. 12. US Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District. Omaha, NE

The objective of this study is to document the effect of Lewis and Clark Lake and Fort Randall Dam releases on the Niobrara River in Nebraska. Aggradation on this tributary has produced higher stages for a given discharge, resulting in increased open flow flooding of overbank areas and possible increase in the magnitude and frequency of ice-affected flooding.
