Even with that a big part of the problem is a diminished sediment load in the Mississippi due to dams in the tributaries.
That makes sense. They would have to come up with some serious dam technology that allows sediment to go through?

It's been discussed....just money money money and fricking with people's homes. This basically means we're fricked. Dewatering/natural compaction+lower sediment levels+leveed river+rising sea level is a grim number. I saw a slide that showed south La in 2100. It was shocking. Roberts is no wackadoo either.
he showed proposed places for destruction of the miss riv levee with all place names removed. Would buy us years but you know the nimbys would sue like crazy.
