摘要：	The Mississippi River Commission (MRC) concluded its yearly high-water inspection trip in the Big Easy March 31, with the mv. Mississippi docking at the New Orleans Engineer District's headquarters in Uptown New Orleans. After introductory remarks from members of the commission, Col. Cul-lin Jones, the 65th commander of the New Orleans District, reflected on his experience since assuming command in September 2022. "I can tell you," Jones said, "it has been a wild ride over the last seven mouths." In his first months on the job, Jones and the New Orleans District faced a significant low water season on the Mississippi River, much like fellow districts in the Mississippi Valley Division. Most recently, the district had to enact its Phase I flood fight when the Mississippi River reached 11 feet at the Car-rollton gage in New Orleans. The river there has crested at about 13 feet, with the National Weather Service forecasting a slow fall through the next couple of weeks.
