re: Why is river volume/flow (cubic ft/sec) the only trigger for Morganza and not days...... - ScottieP on 6/8/19 at 3:20 am Its flow,flow,flow, that triggers the opening. Not stage, not length of time, not some politician, not the general public getting worried. It's congressional law that when the flow reaches 1.5 million cfs at Red River Landing they open the Morganza.
Wow its amazing that people can't understan... Posted on Outdoor Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (3) |

re: What are the chances the morganza spillways is open - ScottieP on 3/9/19 at 11:30 pm Morganza will not be opened for this rise. The river will crest at Red River Landing on Tuesday at 61.5ft. It is currently 61.2 ft. It will stay at 61.5ft for 3 day then begin falling.
Now will another rise come down once snow melt starts that could cause the river to rise higher in May/June... Posted on Outdoor Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Bonnet Carre Spillway Opening Next Week - ScottieP on 2/21/19 at 11:07 pm [quote]They mention towards the end of the article that neither Davis Pond nor the Caernarvon diversions will be opened because salinity levels are already too low. I know the salinity level has a huge impact on oysters, but is that the driving for here? It seems a shame to miss out on the sediment ...

re: You telling me these federal workers are out of money and can't eat ?? - ScottieP on 1/24/19 at 11:00 pm [quote]I know this will come as news to you, but the shut down started just before Christmas.

re: Pex vs Copper - New Home Construction - ScottieP on 1/23/19 at 10:57 pm [quote]The real answer OP is a great plumber will use something like 95% pex and 5% copper. As said above there are certainly places like stub outs for shut off valves behind toilets and sinks, mixers in your bath/ shower, etc. where your top plumbers will still use some copper. [/quote]

River has been high this fall and early winter but the 28 day forecast doesn't have it getting to flood stage in BR so talks of a spillway opening are way premature.
