Will Bagnell Dam Release Cause Osage River Flooding?
Release Increase: Ameren Missouri has started to release more water from Bagnell Dam on the Osage River. The discharge rate increased from 20,021.2 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 50,000 cfs. Expected Effects: The Osage County Sheriff's Office has warned that this could lead to flooding along the Osage River. The river's water level might rise by about four feet due to the increased water release. Adjustment Details: The change in discharge rates was made to align with the water flow from Truman Dam, which is also dealing with flooding. The goal is to keep lake levels stable without worsening the flood situation. The discharge rate of 50,000 cfs from Bagnell Dam will continue until Sunday, after which it will be reduced. In summary, while the water release from Bagnell Dam has increased, Ameren Missouri's management team is working to manage the situation and prevent flooding. Currently, there is no significant flooding reported.
