The shoreline at Ike Skelton Lake is exposed Oct. 20, 2015, following a draining performed by contractors at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. The water level was lowered as part of an on-going project which includes the installation of a brick wall along the water’s edge. Following the shoreline reinforcement, the water level will be raised higher than normal, which decreases the algae and weed growth in the shallow areas of the pond. The shoreline is scheduled to be closed until December 2015. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jazmin Smith/Released)
