"Under pressure from Congress and states, the Army Corps of Engineers said Monday that it will change its approach to operating Missouri River dams with the aim of reducing prospects for future flooding." The corps has come under criticism for placing species restoration and recreation over flood protection. The record flooding of 2011 was caused by "freakish rains and heavy snowmelt in the basin's western reaches" that "filled the river with more water than at any time since record-keeping began."
