The Missouri Sedimentation Action Coalition (MSAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the issue of sediment accumulation in the Missouri River mainstem reservoirs. With a focus on sustainability and future planning, MSAC works with stakeholders and the US Army Corps of Engineers to develop sediment management plans for reservoirs like Lewis and Clark Lake. Their goal is to prevent sediment from reducing water storage capacity and to promote action that will sustain the reservoirs and their benefits for future generations.
Through research, workshops, and collaboration, MSAC aims to educate and raise awareness about the impacts of sedimentation on flood control, hydropower, navigation, water supply, water quality, fish and wildlife, and recreation. By bringing together past research and new information, they strive to create comprehensive action plans that consider the true costs and benefits of sediment management. With the support of stakeholders and river managers, MSAC is working towards a shift in thinking and the implementation of sustainable practices to preserve the Missouri River reservoirs.
