The Iowa DNR urged people to be careful at Lake Manawa in Council Bluffs due to the low water levels. The water was about 20 inches below the normal pool on account of drought. The low water made it challenging to unload and load boats. Oxbow lakes adjacent to the Missouri River were lower this summer due to drought conditions over the past few years, per the Iowa DNR.
