The Mississippi River Commission will conduct its annual high-water inspection trip on the Mississippi River, April 8-12, 2024. The commission has scheduled four public meetings aboard the Motor Vessel Mississippi in selected towns along the river. Members of the commission will meet with local partners, stakeholders, and residents. During the scheduled time for the public to provide testimony, commission members will hear comments and concerns, as well as any and all ideas and suggestions presented at that time. The Commission and the Corps value the opportunity to hear issues and concerns firsthand through the public hearing process. Interaction with congressional, federal, and state interests, local boards, non-government organizations, and the public is crucial to the decision-making process for the nation's water resources. The Mississippi River Commission brings critical engineering representation to the drainage basin, which impacts 41% of the United States and includes 1.25 million square miles, over 250 tributaries, 31 states, and two Canadian provinces.
