Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Yazoo-Mississippi River Basin consists of the entire drainage area of the Yazoo River and is located in the northwest portion of Mississippi. The basin is made up of 8.5 million acres of land and water lying between the Mississippi River Levee on the western side, the Hatchie and Wolf River Basin divides on the northern perimeter, and the Tombigbee and Big Black River Basins on the eastern and southern boundaries. All waters in the basin drain through the Yazoo River into the Mississippi River near Vicksburg. Major tributaries of the Yazoo are the Coldwater, Tallahatchie, Yalobusha, and Sunflower Rivers. The objective of this study is to aid in the orderly development, utilization, conservation, management and protection of water, land, and related resources. The study includes descriptions of problems, needs, and solutions. Major emphasis is placed on plan measures that can be implemented through USDA programs. These measures include floodwater retarding structures, channels, land stabilization, and land management systems. Other measures are proposed to protect the environment, preserve archeological and historical areas, and provide recreational facilities.
