Aside from the water itself, the terrestrial resources that surround our lakes
are valuable assets that sustain the exquisite nature of our 10 lakes.
Original congressional authorizations were limited in some cases
to only one purpose, Flood Damage Reduction at our older projects. More recent
authorization included multi-purpose functions such as
Hydropower Production,
Natural Resource Management, Environmental Stewardship, Water Supply, Public
Recreation, as well as Flood Damage Reduction.
Everyone is encouraged to visit Vicksburg District Corps Projects, recognize
the purpose of the project and enjoy the many opportunities provided to
expand your knowledge of the outdoors and relax.
