Ok, i made an error, know it is hard to believe, but oh so true. The locks and dams have nothing to do with the level of the Mississippi River, or for flood control, ONLY for transportation on the river, to make it a certain level all up and down the river so barges can easily go up and down. i KNOW this, we went on a tour last year at the lock and dam here in Davenport and that was made clear to us. When friend Carol read my prior comment on the blog, she asked if i did not remember that tour and what the park ranger told us??? Yes, i do, but in the excitement of the little flood and all it totally slipped my little mind and i am sorry to mislead anyone.
thank you very much
and have a good day :)
Take Care and God Bless
