Two tribes in South Dakota have joined a multi-state battle over the levels of water in the Missouri River.

The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe and the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe intervened in a case involving the management by the Army Corps of Engineers. The tribes want to protect their own interests along the river.

The state of South Dakota seeks to maintain water levels to protect fish.
