The lack of rain has allowed water levels on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to fall, which affects businesses that transport products via the rivers. Fishermen have found some spots inaccessible along the Ohio River. Boats can also become stuck and may be difficult to free.
Lower water levels on the Ohio River may mean fewer boats visiting the Golcanda Marina.
