re: Miss. River Water Level Questions

There are flow triggers and elevations triggers to open the spillways. Elevation triggers I don't believe are published. They cant let it over top major levees downstream simply because the flow trigger wasn't met. Your friend is correct, siltation is the issue. Higher elevations are being seen with lower flows. I don't know if it was Obama specifically, but dredging funding was cut. Mainly passed New Orleans though which is not causing the problems upstream. South pass for one is no longer dredged.

Would take every dredge in the country working round the clock to have an impact if any on overall river bed level.... it was a good run for the Corp and man made structures but it is only a matter of when not if the river does it’s thing. May not be our lifetime but who knows.
