Floods of Water Close to Levees Hold Back River Monster
R S S Taylor of the Mississippi river commission returned from St Louis to New Orleans via water, giving a careful study of the Mississippi flood. He says 16 years since a flood of this size and that 1.3 miles of levees held well, with only about ten miles destroyed. He argues higher levees and waste piers as potential safeguards and notes Bermuda grass strengthens levees, while the flood’s peak may yet advance in the lower valley. He toured multiple points during a two week trip.
