It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
The erratic flow of the Missouri River creates a severe flood hazard. In 1947 floods caused an estimated total of 111 million dollars' damage in the Missouri River Basin.
In the upper basin the main demands for the waters of the Missouri River and its tributaries are for irrigation and power. In the lower basin the major problems are navigation, protection from floods and power. Wind and water erosion and inadequate industrial development are problems affecting the Basin as a whole. It is important that a program be formulated which will solve the problems enumerated, benefit a large number of people and make the most efficient and economical use of the Basin's resources.
