The Corps of Engineers is predicting above normal run off into the Missouri River reservoir system this spring. The prediction is for twenty-nine million-acre feet, or about one hundred fifteen percent of normal.
Following the floods of 2011, the Corps planned to add a real-time network of snowpack and precipitation monitors.
John Remus, Chief of the Missouri River Basin Water Management Division in Omaha, says that network has not been funded…..

Remus says they do have observers watching the snow pack…..

Remus says they are getting good information on the snowpack and potential run off…..

South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds has sent a letter to the Corps command, asking for an update on their run off monitoring situation.
