“The river system in South Dakota is the lifeblood of our economy. South Dakota’s two major industries are agriculture and tourism and without a sufficient supply of water, both suffer greatly. The Grand, Cheyenne, Missouri, James, and Sioux Rivers provide water for thousands of acres of crop ground. The impoundments on the Missouri, Grand, and Cheyenne are a mecca for sportsmen and recreationists. The river system is also being called upon to supply the water needs for our rural homeowners, ranches, and cities through an ever-increasing system of rural and city water systems.”—Ron Moehring, South Dakota State Weed Coordinator
