A study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shows the Des Moines River is rising higher and more often, which means floods like those in 1993, 2008 and 2010 are more likely than previously estimated. The corps requested funding for the study after the 2008 floods. Iowa has asked Congress to include funding in the corps' budget for 2012 to study the reservoirs, which also include Coralville and Rathbun lakes.
