If the freshwater diversions going into the swamp are accelerating land loss, and the water flow from the sediment diversions is going to be that much larger... are we going to capture enough sediment to even counteract the land loss from the water intrusion? Much less actually start rebuilding land?
"A recent study done by the CPRA at the proposed site of the Mid Breton Diversion, showed that at high river conditions, suspended sediment ratio was 700 mg. per litre of water. This is what that looks like."

"A recent study done by the CPRA at the proposed site of the Mid Breton Diversion, showed that at high river conditions, suspended sediment ratio was 700 mg. per litre of water. This is what that looks like."
at 75,000cfs -> thats 561,037 gallons a second -> which is 2,123,575 liters per second.
So that many liters with 700mg of soil that equates to 1,486,629,798 mg or 1,486,629 grams or 3,277 pounds of sediment.....per second.
So what do you think about this image now?
