| 摘要： | Operators and stakeholders of the J. Bennett Johnston Waterway, the federally maintained navigable channel on the Red River, have a new navigational tool at their fingertips, thanks to a new graphic produced by the Vicksburg Engineer District's Water Control Office. On a single graphic, available on computers and mobile devices alike, anyone with navigation interests on the Red River can access river stage data, current pool elevation and normal pool levels, flow rates, river miles, and headwater and tailwater data for each of the system's five locks and dams. The graphic draws on data already publicly available, but repackages it into an easy-to-read product. Drew Smith, chief of the Water Control Office, which oversees the district's water resource management operations, including flood-control dams, navigation structures and pump stations, said the graphic—and the technology behind it—grew out of floods facing the district the past few years. The 2019 flood on the Mississippi River, in particular, impacted the Yazoo Backwater Project near Vicksburg, Miss. The project prevents back flooding from the Mississippi River up the Yazoo during high water events. |
