Flooding may not be over for farmers along the Missouri River.

The Army Corps of Engineers increasing water levels this week at Gavins Point Dam. That’s a dam in the Southeast Corner of South Dakota on the Missouri River.

The Corps is upping water levels due to snowpack on the Vermillion, James and Big Sioux Rivers which all enter the Missouri River downstream of the dam.

Flows are increasing 39,000 cubic feet per second until it reaches a target release rate of 55,000 cubic feet per second.
