So you're saying that if ORCS did fail, there would be absolutely no water flow down the MSR? Curios question. I dont think the entire river would flow down the atchafalaya.


The thought is that when the majority of flow goes down the AR, sediment would start to deposit in that turn and eventually build a bank blocking any other water that would go down the MR

I know that area well, if it blew thru just south of Black Hawk It would be a straight shot to Simmesport. The east bank is high bank los hill I am no hydrologists but I can see where once the cut started the east bank would push the MS River flow west and actually cut the flow off completely in a very short period of time if not immediately,

If you ever go down there and see the lay of the land there is definitely a reason the ORCS is where it is.
