Abstract
Rathbun Dam, located in south central Iowa and constructed by the Corps of Engineers, impounds the Chariton River forming Lake Rathbun. Rathbun Dam was built to provide storage for flood control, navigation, low flow augmentation and recreation. The lake has also become a source (since early 1976) of water supply for the Rathbun Regional Water Association which has their water intake structure located in the Chariton River downstream (approximately 137M - 450 feet) from the dam. Dam construction was initiated in September, 1965, impoundment of water was begun in November, 1969, with the multipurpose pool level reached in October, 1970.
