Waters of the Mississippi River historically inundated vast areas of floodplain during the spring flood pulse and provided a mechanism of lateral exchange of energy and nutrients between the aquatic and terrestrial habitats. During a typical year Mississippi River water levels are highest in the spring...
Their circular 01/20 focuses on anchoring issues on the Mississippi River associated with the high water levels and increased currents that are typically experienced between December and May. IMC’s circular can be readhere. 21 March 2019 A recent rise in incidents in the Mississippi has coincided...
There's a bit of delayed response so even though we are gonna be dry for the next seven to 10 days we are gonna continue to see river to rise," said Tyler Hasenstein, a meteorologist who has been analyzing water levels. "For the rest of the week it would be a good idea...
We conclude that the interaction of human alterations to the Mississippi River system with dynamical modes of climate variability has elevated the current flood hazard to levels that are unprecedented within the past five centuries. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your ...
As a result, monitoring of water quality in the Mississippi River is spatially inadequate, uncoordinated, and conducted with varying levels of rigor. Despite these problems, the US EPA has not taken a leadership role in facilitating cooperative activities among the states with respect to the ...
The present study uses GIS mapping to quantitatively compare historical changes in mapped land and water phenomena in the upper Mississippi River Pool 10, located along southwest Wisconsin's border. Modest channel widening and decreases in island area throughout the study reach during the last ...
National Park sites: Gateway Arch National Park (Missouri); Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (Minnesota); Effigy Mounds National Monument (Iowa); Arkansas Post National Memorial; Natchez National Historic Park (Mississippi) and more Chances to get out on the water all along the Great...
and radioactive ions of groundwater in delta and non-delta counties in states along the Mississippi River. Data were sourced from the major-ions dataset of the U.S. Geological Survey. We used the Wilcoxon rank sum test to determine the difference in water quality parameters. Overall, delta ...
The objective of this paper is to determine overall differences in basic water quality indicators, electrolytes of cardiovascular importance, trace elements, heavy metals, and radioactive ions of groundwater in delta and non-delta counties in states along the Mississippi River. Data were sourced from...
Barges on the Mighty Mississippi River The Mighty Mississippi: Barges and Their Massive Cargo Capacity The Mississippi River is a vital commercial waterway, with barges constantly plying its waters carrying a staggering amount of cargo. These flat-bottomed vessels are essential for transporting bulk com...
