I grew up around Gavins Point Dam stretching across the boundary of Nebraska and South Dakota. Severe flooding on the upper Missouri may be a rare event, but harsh criticism of the the US ARMY corp of engineers isn't. For decades, stakeholders up and down the river have waged a fierce struggle over how the corps has managed water releases from the great 6 Missouri River reservoirs -- struggles triggered equally by periods of low water as this year's high water.
