Hydrologist says no more flooding expected in area
Clinton Lake rose at least two feet by Tuesday morning and the Lawrence area remained under a flash flood watch. Hydrologist Brian Loving of the US Geological Survey said river flow near Lecompton was below normal and groundwater tables are still low due to drought. Four inches of rain fell Monday night into Tuesday, with dry spells between events and reservoirs moderating river levels.
