Not so fast my friend.

Water would only come up to sea level if the MS River got diverted. Thats a hell of a lot of dredging and digging to make up that difference at the BR port.

Also the petro chemical corridor would be totally fricked as they lose their fresh water intakes.

They'd figure out some way to divert enough water to the Mississippi River's current channel to keep it navigable.

That’s an absurd scenario. When the river level went down in late summer we’d block the new path and send it back to NOLA. And we would not lose NOLA’s drinking water, because the river would split. It would not all go to the Atchafalaya.
