摘要：	While the Missouri River basin has seen improved runoff for two consecutive months, it is not enough to overcome the long-term drought persisting in much of the basin, the Corps of Engineers reported August 3. July runoff in the Missouri River basin above Sioux City, Iowa, was 3.2 million acre-feet (maf.), which is 98 percent of average and 0.7 maf. more than was forecast last month. As a result, the Corps raised its annual runoff forecast of 20.6 maf., which is 80 percent of average and 0.6 maf. higher than last month's forecast. "As expected, reservoir inflows in July have been declining due to the warmer and drier conditions in the upper Missouri River Basin," said John Remus, chief of the Corps' Missouri River Basin Water Management Division. "Per the July 1 system storage check, navigation support was increased slightly to 500 cubic feet per second above minimum service levels. The navigation support season will be three days shorter than normal per the guidance in the Master Manual."
