| 摘要： | The rains dumped over the Midwest by a series of fast-moving storms in the first week of August offered welcome relief to farmers, saving some crops from extended drought. But the rains weren't enough to bring bargeloads back to full capacity on the middle Mississippi River, and there's no significant rain in the forecast for at least a couple of weeks. According to Joan Stemler, chief of water control for the St. Louis Engineer District, river levels are about 8 feet below the post-1967 average for this time of year. Gages stood at 0.3 feet on August 24 and are expected to reach negative 1.8 in a week with no rain relief. Some pop-up storms over the weekend might help a little, she said. Without significant rain relief, said Stemler, "We'll be looking at record-breaking daily lows again" by the end of August. River levels broke low-water records five times each in June and July. The St. Louis District was to meet with the River Industry Action Committee on August 25 to determine future steps. |
