Who is in charge of maintaining the Mississippi River and preventing flooding?

great campgrounds on these lands!

The Army Corps of Engineers also control and maintain the canal system that was created to drain the Black Swamp in Ohio.

levipaxton, I can't say much for their recent success. Much of my state has been underwater all year.

I knew that from when the levees broke in Katrina

I happen to live in an area of the country where the levee is probably the strongest and most well maintained in the USA. And so well it (Memphis, TN metro area) should be since it's the trucking/transportation hub of the USA.

My great idea for humanity. When the Great flood season comes to the mighty Mississippi, they should PUMP water to some arid parts of our country. Maybe even divert some of the water with a canal???

Player #8400550, And. people should not build homes in flood zones.
