That's true but the moving water exerts less pressure. Doesn't matter though because the water right at the levee isn't really moving enough to make a difference. The real reason this is good is that we want the crest to come and go as quick as possible.

True. But we already know that it won't. Our knowledge of some barge captain having trouble moving upstream doesn't change the fact that the models have the crest holding for several days.
