Giant Mississippi River model at LSU

This is pretty cool, any of y’all ever go see it?
LSU Center for River Studies is located on the Baton Rouge Water Campus near the banks of the Mississippi River. It houses one of the world's largest movable bed physical models - the Lower Mississippi River Physical Model.
The river model is 10,000 square feet and based on the topography and bathymetry of the Mississippi River Delta covering southeast Louisiana. Pumps are used to control the water and sediment injection. More than 18 acoustic sensors coincide with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers river gages on the Mississippi River and measure water levels in the model river. Twenty high-definition projectors illuminate the model and bring the river and coast to life.

I think it's still there. Security is tighter than it was.

There is an open air version of this abandoned in Jackson, ms. It is cool as hell, but just unused and I maintained. The local engineering society chapter gets together a couple of times per year to clean the brush ou of it.

There's one on Mud Island in Memphis.

We did the network cabling and fiber for all of the devices for the AV company that installed all of that.
It's pretty awesome and was cool to watch the machine cut the blocks of wood that make up the base.
But at the end of the day, it was an LSU ITS project so of course it was a complete political clusterfrick
