A new National Research Council study says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is losing ground in maintaining and upgrading the agency's huge, aging water-resources infrastructure. The Corps-sponsored report, released on Oct. 4, comes as there are stirrings in the Senate about a new, multiyear water-resources bill that would authorize Corps river locks and dams, harbor dredging and environmental projects as well as alter Corps policies. But the bill has not yet been introduced, and at this early stage, it's unclear whether the new study will help shape the legislation.
