OMAHA, Nebraska - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to prepare the Missouri River Mainstem System for the 2020 runoff season.
Gavins Point releases will be increased from 27,000 cubic feet per second to 30,000 cfs this week. Gavins Point Dam winter releases normally range between 12,000 and 17,000 cfs.
"The higher-than-average winter releases from Gavins Point will continue to empty stored water from the 2019 runoff season," said John Remus, chief of the Corps' Missouri River Basin Water Management Division.
