Mississippi River Diversions, Shortfalls & Resolutions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Below is an article I will publish and any suggestions are appreciated. The $50 billion project is failing because of 12 shortfalls and below are my resolutions. If interested in any one of them please request more information.

Synopsis
This Booklet reviews 12 shortfalls total, 3 in the "Sediment Diversions Operations Report" with effective solutions, 6 other shortfalls with effective solutions and 3 other shortfalls with minimized solutions. "Operations Report" shortfalls are limiting sediment diversions in the summer months, marsh drowning and Lafitte flooding. Other shortfalls with Effective Solutions are large diversions limiting number of nurseries, diversion distributary limitations, unnatural diversions, limited natural marsh creation, sediment not reaching 70% of waters west of Bayou Lafourche and using an average hydrograph over 50 years river flow for
diversion operation. Other shortfalls with minimized solutions are dead zones in marshes, large fish kills and recreational / commercial fisheries negative impact.

Resolutions are fully open diversion in summer months capturing summer floods and reservoir sediment arriving in Louisiana through bypassing 5 upstream dams, prevent marsh drowning, minimize flooding in Lafitte, allows for hundreds of mini-diversions and nurseries, generate natural diversions, natural marsh creation. Suspended sediment east and west of Bayou Lafourche for creating natural marshes, more dispersion of nutrients minimizing dead zones and provide productive marshes for recreation and commercial fishing.
