OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The amount of water being released into the lower Missouri
River will remain high at least into September.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday water releases from Gavins
Point Dam on the Nebraska-South Dakota border will remain at current levels of
70,000 cubic feet per second.
The Corps says it is still clearing out floodwater that accumulated in the
reservoirs during the spring.
The large amount of water flowing into the river may exacerbate flooding in
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri because many levees are still damaged from
spring flooding.
