Gavins Point Dam
(KLZA)-- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has reduced the amount of water being released from Gavins Point Dam on the Missouri River.
A news release notes the decrease is due to downstream Missouri River and tributary flows increased due to widespread heavy rainfall in parts of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. Jody Farhat, chief of the Corps’ Missouri River Basin Water Management Division said releases were reduced from 30,000 cubic feet per second to 21,000 CFS over several days to help ease downstream flooding.
As downstream flows recede, releases at Gavins Point will increase, to help maintain a 9-foot deep navigation channel.
