Mississippi River Levels
How Are The Mississippi River Levels
Looking?
Only a few months ago, barge traffic was not
able to safely move along the Lower Mississippi and Ohio Rivers,
as record low water levels were recorded throughout the
Mississippi River Valley. At Memphis, Tennessee, the Mississippi
River had fallen to -10.81 feet below zero gauge.
Barges were backed up along the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers after the appearance of sandbars caused them to
run aground. Dredges were working around the clock to keep the
channels open for barge traffic.
Fast Forward to February 2023, recent
precipitation has helped to increase water levels on the
Mississippi River at Memphis and the Ohio River at Cairo,
Illinois, which were two of the more troublesome spots in 2022.
As of February 5th, the Ohio River is looking good, however,
without more rain, the Memphis gauge is expected to fall to a
low-water stage by the middle of the month........
