Dry conditions impacting Barnett Reservoir water levels
SUMMARY: The Ross Barnett Reservoir in Rankin County, Mississippi is experiencing low water levels due to extreme dry conditions. The current water level is below the target level for this season, and without rain in the forecast, water levels will remain low. Experts say that every half foot of water makes a difference, and boaters may start losing access to docks as the water level decreases. Engineers say it is not uncommon for the reservoir to be low at this time of year, and the rainy season is expected to begin in November, preventing any water shortages. Safety precautions should be taken on the reservoir, including staying within navigational channels and being cautious of shallow areas with stumps.
