Abstract: Drought conditions in the Lower Mississippi River Basin continue to deteriorate, with over 76% of the Lower Mississippi watershed in moderate to extreme drought and river levels hitting record lows in some areas. To provide the latest information on current drought conditions, impacts felt across economic sectors ranging from river navigation and transportation to agriculture, as well as short-term and long range outlooks, NIDIS is joining with our partners to host a webinar focused on the drought in the Lower Mississippi River corridor. The webinar will raise awareness of the impacts to communities and sectors due to the current low river levels.
Please join us for the Lower Mississippi River Basin Special Drought Webinar on Friday, November 18, 2022 from 10:00am-11:30pm CT. This webinar will include an update on the current drought and river level situation and outlook, and will feature information on the impacts being felt on the ground. This webinar is being hosted by NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) in partnership with NOAA’s National Weather Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
