Army Corps to implement ‘lessons learned’ from 2022
While areas of the Mississippi River largely remained above flood stage through late April, a repeat of 2022 summer and fall could cause a significant drop in water levels. Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Michael Connor said the service this year is leaning on “lessons learned” from last year to “try and ensure that the next drought doesn’t have a steep impact.” Connor discussed more of the Corps’ strategy during the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing.
