Description of Study AreaThe study area for this report includes 12 water-supply lakes in northwestern Missouri (fig. 1; table 1). The King City Reservoir system (lake 9; fig. 1) includes three impoundments of similar size that are hydraulically connected, so they are analyzed together and presented on a single map sheet; nevertheless, three individual surface area and capacity tables were developed for that system. Mozingo Lake and Maryville Reservoir (lakes 11 and 12; fig. 1) are part of the 2020 survey season but are of high interest and also are hydraulically connected; however, these two lakes are of disparate sizes, so they were analyzed separately and presented on separate map sheets, each having individual surface area and capacity tables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
