The Army Corps of Engineers has been dredging portions of the river to keep traffic flowing, albeit at a much slower pace. The low water levels come at a crucial time of the year for the transport of crops from the nation’s heartland, CNN has previously reported.
Low water levels shown in the Memphis area. The forecast from the Climate Prediction Center is dry, with below-average rainfall in the outlook through at least October 23. Several locations have seen record-low precipitation over the past few weeks, including Memphis, Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Springfield, Missouri. Severe drought covers more than 70% of Arkansas and nearly 40% of Missouri, up from just 5% a month ago. And more than 133 million people live in those drought-stricken areas the biggest population affected since 2016. More than 55% of the contiguous United States is in drought, according to the US Drought Monitor, which is the largest area since April. The gauge dropped to around zero on Thursday and shows no sign of significant recovery in the forecast. Tower Rock can be reached on foot when the water level is below 1.5 feet at the Chester, Illinois, river gauge, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. Photos taken by Miget show people hiking across the rocky river bed to the island tower, a trek posing little risk in the near-term as water levels are expected to continue to drop for at least the next two weeks.

Those are a few of the dire consequences that could result if states, cities and farms cannot agree on how to cut the amount of water they draw from the Colorado River. Farmers may confront painful decisions about which crops to stop planting. Las Vegas and Phoenix may be forced to ration water or restrict growth. Keitel was born to play sinsister characters who lead twisted double lives, and his part in Bad Timing primes him for future roles such as the detective in Cop Killer (aka Corrupt, 1983 -see littlemissbloodandguts' review - ),īad Timing's worth a watch but if you're looking for cold war romance and intrigue under the came roof, try The Russia House (1990), or The Double Agent (1962).FILE - A bathtub ring of light minerals shows the high water line of Lake Mead near water intakes on the Arizona side of Hoover Dam at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area on June 26, 2022, near Boulder City, Nev. One oasis of satisfaction in the film is Harvey Keitel's performance as an East German Stasi and Czech Secret Policei-collaborating West German inspector. However, the character insight we get is the kind that would be more relevant to relationship drama than a cold war character study -which Bad Timing purports to be.
The most the film has to offer is that the story unfolds in such a way, via Garfunkel's flashbacks, that we get some interesting insight into Garfunkel's character by the end, and reality turns out to be something different from what we had assumed. There's lot s of rough sex, and a near fatal drug overdose, but little actual intrigue, point or purpose. Russel is sent to the West by Denholm Elliot (an intriguing character actor whose talents are squandered here) to attract Garfunkel, a CIA'd-up psychiatric professor, who simultaneously receives a dossier on Russell. Two cold war spies (Art Garfunkel and Theresa Russell) enter into an ill-fated and apparently pointless, cat and mouse romance, but we don't realize it's going nowhere until we've sat through it to the end.
