Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had to make changes to the water level at the Lac qui Parle Lake Dam near Watson because, they said, of ongoing rain. The Army Corps of Engineers released a press release stating, “The additional water releases are needed to minimize the risk of the reservoir from overtopping the emergency spillway, which happens at an elevation of 941.3 feet. The increased outflow of water into the Minnesota River means additional localized flooding is likely.”
