Along Manchac Rd to keep Bayou Manchac from going into the Spanish Lake area.

In 2016 water going over Manchac Rd and into the Spanish Lake area saved everyone’s arse along Bayou Fountain.

And in the process put 6 feet of water in a bunch of homes on the low side of Bluff Road right next to Spanish Lake. This is really just the Iberville President pandering for votes, as the amount of people helped by this will be far outweighed by the people hurt, but the ones hurt can't vote for him/any future opponents

Does this seem about right?

Seems to me instead of keeping water “in the channel where the water’s from” it’s blocking what had been the natural flow of the water for thousands of years?

Also, with most of the blame frequently being placed on the ongoing raised developments contributing to the recent flood events (and rightfully so I imagine, but don’t know enough about that), wouldn’t Manchac Road also be a contributing factor preventing the natural flow of water to Spanish Lake as it’s practically a man-made levee?
