Corps issues small-craft advisory
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, issued a small-craft advisory for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System in Arkansas. Rainfall in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas is causing flows on the system to rise, according to a news release Thursday.
Small-craft advisories are issued when flows exceed 70,000 cubic feet per second. Strong currents and large debris can threaten the safety of pleasure craft during high flows.
River flows at Van Buren were more than 200,000 c.f.s. and rising. Flows could approach 300,000 c.f.s. in the upper reach of the river through the remainder of this week.
Daily river information can be obtained at www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil or the Corps’ mobile app. Recreation information can be found at www.swl.usace.army.mil, at www.facebook.com/littlerockusace and at www.twitter.com/usacelittlerock.
