The Army Corps of Engineers failing to competently do their jobs is responsible for the flooding in Nebraska, Iowa, KS, & Missouri.

The simple fact is, the flooding would begin to cease if they would close the gates on the dams in South Dakota.

Maybe down stream, but not for long. Lake Oahe is up to the top of the dam, and the spring snow melt has not yet taken place. When that water arrives there will be no room behind the dam and everything upstream and down will be flooded, in theory.

Gavins point same story.

The entire issue has been the extreme spring rains in the North West. Record spring rains of historic proportions, and the corps of engineers not having previously reacted to the record snowfall in the Rockies by releasing water from the lakes before the spring rains arrived and before the snow melt.
