| 摘要： | With no rain relief in sight, historic low water on the inland river system continues to block channels, restrict tow sizes, cause light-loading and slow or halt traffic, affecting millions of tons of agricultural cargoes at the height of harvest time. The low water has crept upriver into the Ohio River, which briefly closed at Mile 974 due to groundings just below Olmsted Locks and associated dredging.According to October 13 figures released by the Corps of Engineers' Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center, the current river stage at Cairo, Ill., stands at 7.6 feet, with a projected low of 6 feet, compared to the low of 4.9 feet in 1988. The current stage at Memphis, Tenn., is 8.6feet below the reference plane, with a projected low of 10 feet below-close to the 1988 level of 10.7 feet below. At Greenville, Miss., the current stage is 9 feet, with a projected low of 9.5 feet, versus the low of 7.3 feet in 1988. Baton Rouge stands at 5.3 feet, with a projected low of 3.5 feet, compared to 1.7 feet in 1988. |
