| 摘要： | As punishing drought continues with no significant rain forecasts on the immediate horizon, Mississippi River levels continue to drop, approaching the record lows of last year and squeezing bargeloads even more. Both scheduled and unscheduled lock closures are further complicating the logistic situation on the waterways. The latest maps on the U.S. Drought Monitor, which display September 5 data, show moderate or severe drought, or abnormally dry conditions, throughout most of the upper Midwest. The Ohio River basin is not quite as drought-stricken, but most of the lower Missouri River basin suffers from the same drought conditions. At Olmsted Locks and Dam, 22 tows total-both northbound and southbound-were waiting to transit as of September 14. Part of that backup was due to temporary river shutdowns while American Bar below the lock and dam was being dredged. One of the two lock chambers was also undergoing a scheduled closure from August 9 through September 24. |
