Abstract:

Created from download of data from NW Power Planning Council's Hydrosite database on the Coordinated Info System Bulletin Board. All sites in MT were downloaded on 8/20/90. Includes potential and actual hydropower sites. See "Report for FY 1990 NW Energy Resource Database" (Nov, 1990) by NRIS to DNRC and WSEO.

Some location errors have been identified and need to be corrected.
