The key with the diversions is to rebuild land over time, year after year. After the initial major expense of building a structure that mimics the old river flooding, there is minor costs associated with maintenance unlike the yearly costs associated with dredging.
I have heard this same thing regurgitated as well. But it’s simply not as accurate as you make it seem. Because the State assumed that the structure will last forever. It won’t. It will have to be replaced eventually. Actually, the structure requires annual maintenance costs … dredging doesn’t. Dredging will require future lifts in 20, 30, 50 years.
