Scaremongers seem to forget the MS ran freely down the Atchafalaya for 150 years before the ORCS was put in place and the port of NO was the nations largest during this period.

Rivers change for a reason. The hydraulics of a river change. Just because it happened close to two centuries ago doesnt mean its going to happen again, especially considering the hydraulic difference in gradient between the MSR and Atch. River has increased since then.

If ORCS did fail and the Miss River ran down the Atchafalaya, I am curious what fresh water you think the petro chem corridor would use, or where New Orleans would get its drinking water from.
