    High water means high stakes for Pittsburgh locks, dams

    Rivers rise and rivers flow, but when a flood happens, somebody has to deal with the debris left behind. This is especially true at the U.S. Army corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District locks and dams, which are vital to the region.
  • Dominic Basile, Allegheny River L/D 5 equipment mechanic leader, watches as the lock gates are cycled to try to break up the ice.
