\nThe basin from St. Louis south has been largely dry for three months, according to the National Weather Service. The drying Mississippi is reminiscent of this summer’s transportation woes on the Rhine River \u2014 and both are functions of a Northern Hemisphere.

\nFACT CHECK: Is the Mississippi River Going Dry?.Grain Shippers Facing Mississippi River Drought Race Against Winter
\n<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The basin from St. Louis south has been largely dry for three months, and the forecast calls for the drought to continue, along with warmer-than-normal temperatures.<\/p>\n

Though the Mississippi River is low, there is no evidence that barges or other vessels have grounded, said Lance Engle, dredging project manager for the Corps in St. He said dredging of the river bottom continues in several spots to help keep traffic flowing. The river has not been forced to close at any locations, but Joan Stemler, the chief of water control operations in St. Louis for the Corps of Engineers, warned that the flow from the Missouri River, which feeds into the Mississippi north of St.<\/p>\n

Louis, is expected to drop enough in December that the Mississippi could go up to 3 feet 0. The upper Mississippi River, from Minnesota to St. Louis, operates with a series of locks and dams. The river from St. Louis to the south is free-flowing. Stemler said that in a low-water emergency, the Corps can release water from the southern-most dam, near Alton, Illinois, which would increase the depth downriver by a half-foot 15 centimeters. On Wednesday, Corps officials in Louisiana said the river level was so low that Gulf of Mexico salt water was creeping farther than usual toward New Orleans and threatening drinking water.<\/p>\n

The Corps plans an underwater levee to block the wedge of heavier salt water before it can get into water treatment plants. A ferry that carries vehicles across the river between Kentucky and Missouri closed in mid-September.<\/p>\n

When the river gets too low, it becomes difficult for vehicles to load and off-load from the Dorena-Hickman Ferry at both landings, the Kentucky Transportation Department said in a statement. Now that it’s fall, what kind of winter do you think we’ll have? View Results.<\/p>\n
