U S Flood Control Plans Highlight Vast Mississippi Project
The government launches a massive flood control undertaking for the Mississippi River, led by Major General Edgar Jadwin. It will surpass the Panama Canal in scale, aiming to protect the valley from floods potentially 25 percent stronger than last year, with new diversion channels and a shift away from levees-only approaches. The Mississippi River Commission plan will be fused with Jadwin's scheme under a single authority.

Mississippi flood control plan with floodways and fuze plug levees
Army engineers outline a system of four diversion channels for the Mississippi and its tributaries to the Gulf of Mexico. Two major floodways the Boeuf Basin and Atchafalaya Basin would route waters via artificial river corridors. The Birds Point New Madrid and Bonnet Carre spillways would remain backups. Fuze plug levees would allow controlled overtopping to relieve pressure while embankments along the Mississippi would be raised.
