The amount of water being released into the lower Missouri River will remain elevated at the start of the year, but should return to normal levels throughout 2019.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the amount of water being released from Gavins Point Dam on the Nebraska-South Dakota border was recently increased to help clear out excess water collected last year.Those higher winter releases will help generate more power and clear out space for this spring's rain and melting snow.
