[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 220419, member: 406"] Originally, was about ten years ago IIRC that the corp from heavy political and industry influence changed their management of the Missouri / Mississippi River system for one primary purpose only now and that is to keep enough water back in the upper river system to keep barge traffic running when needed period. Flood control took a waaaayyy back seat to that purpose now. Second to barge traffic is dam and levee integrity and if you watch any meeting the corp does that is all they talk about, they could care one piss ant less about what and who floods along the system anymore....................flood control is out the window for any sort of basic management of the upper missouri river system and has been since the pressure from the barge shipping industry down south after 3 decades of on and off drought years and having barges high and dry in the lower mississippi river basin a few times since the late 80's.
