The meeting of the Inland Waterways Users Board April 13 in Pittsburgh, Pa., highlighted once again the challenges the Corps of Engineers faces in an environment of continuing inflation, labor shortages and cost overruns-coming at a time when, as IWUB members repeatedly noted, they believed certain projects were "funded to completion." A high note was a presentation on the tremendous work the Corps and industry did in coordinating the dredging of the Mississippi River during the recent low water. Impacts to navigation were much fewer than during the similar low water of 2012, indicating the lessons are being learned and applied in managing these events. |
