(NRN)-- Even though some farmland in the region is already flooded from recent heavy rains, the experts say below-normal runoff is expected in the Missouri River basin during the months ahead. Jody Farhat, chief of the U-S Army Corps of Engineers office in Omaha, says they are carefully monitoring the changing conditions.
Farhat says the Corps has limited options to control downstream flooding.
The Corps says runoff in the Missouri River basin above Sioux City, Iowa, was two-point-six million acre feet during April, which is only 89-percent of average. The runoff forecast for the year ahead is 22-point-five million acre feet, which is also 89-percent of average.
