Water released into Missouri River to be decreased

Posted: 04/16/12 08:19

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reducing the amount of water released into the Missouri River in light of the heavy rains that fell this weekend in Nebraska and Iowa. Similar reductions are under way at other upstream reservoirs. The corps' Jody Farhat says the reductions are needed to prevent flooding along the Missouri River in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. The river is expected to temporarily fall below the navigation target of 31,000 cubic feet per second in Sioux City, Iowa.
