Mississippi River Drought Shrinks Navigation Depth Across Basin
The Mississippi River is in a severe drought with dredges active near nine feet depth to keep channels open. Regions from Pig's Eye to St. Louis show greatly reduced flow, with dredging and lock dam systems maintaining movement while Missouri River dam releases mask the river’s true condition. Navigation could falter without rainfall as Missouri River dams plan reduced flow by December 11 for winter ice.
