Troubled Times for the Big Muddy
-
Description
-
Article on the continuously dropping river bed and water levels of the Missouri River. The system of dikes and reservoirs "that helped keep the Missouri River channel locked in place," and the effects of commercial dredging, drought, and flooding have contributed to the problem by scouring the river bed. River degradation poses challenges to utilities that draw power and drinking water from the river, as well as the structural integrity of bridges and levees and the water and bed levels of connecting tributaries.
