| 摘要： | There's low water on the Mississippi River. What will barge companies do? What they always do - they deal with it. It seems like the only years there isn't a low-water problem on the Mississippi River are years when there is a high-water problem on the river. If neither of those exist, then there's total mechanical collapse of the gates at a lock and dam or two. This is not to say that conditions aren't bad. They are. The low water level at Memphis, Tenn., in mid-October set a new record at 10.77'. The water level in Greenville, Miss., was a dismal 7.74'. "The 'normal' river stage at Greenville for this time of year is 17.70'. To make matters worse, the National Weather Service (NWS) sees no relief in the immediate future and is forecasting continued declines in river levels," according to River Transport News. In late October, there were blockages attributed to drought along the Lower Mississippi at Memphis; Little Rock, Ark.; Lake Providence, Miss.; Baton Rouge, La.; Tunica, Miss.; Greenville; Vicksburg, Miss.; and New Orleans, according to the Agriculture Transportation Coalition (ATC). |
