Officials plan monthly updates on Missouri River

• OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Officials plan to resume providing monthly updates on water levels in the Missouri River basin in January.
• The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the first briefing will be held on Jan. 9.
• Each of the briefings will include updates on the current conditions along the river, the weather forecast and the Corps' plan to manage the dams.
• The Corps will adjust the amount of water released from dams along the river in response to conditions.
• Last year, releases along the water were limited because the Corps was conserving water as the region recovered from drought. That affected barge traffic on the river.
