SeepWater

The water below is in areas protected by levees in St. Charles County MO.  Even with levee protection, water seeps under the levee and internal water is trapped in these swales and closed depressions.  Water will move out through the ground as river levels dropped.  Some of these areas will be reported as prevented planting.  Some may be planted to soybeans.  For the moment, the waterfowl such as Egrets and Herons are making use of them.  A small flock of geese was swimming in one field we were working on today.
