We Work to Protect
Southeast Missouri’s Thriving Land
By partnering with our landowners, we continue to improve and maintain ditches, levees, detention basins, pump stations, and other infrastructure to enable productive use and protect against devastating floods.
Our Mission
The Little River Drainage District works with local landowners to address Southeast Missouri’s drainage and flood control challenges in order to protect people, property, and the environment.
