Mississippi Flood Control Aims To Redirect Vast Flows
Engineers study the Atchafalaya as a potential new Mississippi bed while labor crews advance three protective systems near Morganza Louisiana. An $8 million Wax Bay outlet, floodway canals and a spillway to the gulf would divert flood waters, easing pressure on New Orleans and potentially moving a flood the size of 1827 to the gulf with minimal impact. The plan contemplates lengthy dredging and massive outlet works to complete a 15 mile channel from Six Mile Lake to the Gulf.
