School of Engineering Assistant Professor Mohsen Tahmasebi Nasab was quoted in a story regarding a potential halt in the supply chain across the Mississippi River due to the ongoing drought.
From the story: Last week, there were nearly 150 vessels and more than 2,250 barges in a queue to float through stretches of the Mississippi River near Memphis to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where traffic jams had ensued, the U.S. Coast Guard announced in a statement.
Regions along the river from Minnesota to Louisiana have been receiving below-average rainfall since August, Mohsen Tahmasebi Nasab told ABC News.
