[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 261592, member: 600"] [B]Low River Levels To End In Bismarck Soon [/B]Posted: Jun 6, 2019 / 12:22 AM CDT / Updated: Jun 6, 2019 / 07:50 PM CDT You may have noticed that Missouri river levels here in Bismarck look lower than normal. Yet flood warnings are in effect for the Missouri River in Williston. There’s a very specific reason for that. The National Weather Service says the Army Corps of Engineers has greatly reduced the amount of water being discharged out of the Garrison Dam. This is to help alleviate the flooding problems taking place downstream in portions of South Dakota and Nebraska. On the flip side, the lower discharge is resulting in much higher water levels on Lake Sakakawea and minor flooding is happening in Williston. We talked with the Weather Service and it tells us once the Corps lifts the restrictions, water levels in Bismarck should remain high for quite some time. “We’re going to be seeing 40 some odd thousand cubic feet per second in two weeks time, that is going to go for an extended amount of time, because the Corps of Engineers is going to want to evacuate a lot of this excess water they have stored in the Missouri River Mainstem”, said Allen Schlag, a Hydrologist with the NWS Bismarck. He adds once that happens, water levels in Bismarck could remain high for the rest of the summer. [/QUOTE]
