when are they going to be opening it again?
they talked about opening before the end of this month, if I remember right. Keynote speaker during lunch, so I was eating, talking and listening all at the same time.

Opening the B-C causes a lot of problems for marine wildlife down here
well...the spillway and lake P are not a marine environment, so...

Has anyone seen what might be expected if the levees were moved twice the distance from the Mississippi (and Ohio and Missouri and Tennessee among others)

Why aren't they doing at least a partial opening of ORCS to ease the need for BC or to prepare for the rise coming from all the water coming from the north?
Old river control structure stays open!! It has to divert 30% of the MR down into the achtafalaya River. I think you’re confused with morganza. If they divert more water through orcs, you’re putting cities farther north and the red river because more water coming to the achtafalya via the Mississippi will slow the flow of the red causing major backwater flooding in north avoyelles parish. Red river is already high and north of Shreveport is expected to get 8 inches of rain which will make its way into the red and into the atchafalya.

Yes, he means Morganza. They should open Morganza equal to the BC. USACE has completely screwed up the river. Hopefully, the landowners down the river win their lawsuit against them.

chemically and organically speaking the river is cleaner than many many many waterways you probably fish in..... look at the LA deq advisories for toxins and fish consumption..
So because other waterways are dirtier and more polluted than the MS, that means it's ok for the MS to be polluted?
Who is fishing out of the MS river here in south LA?

every time you post you say something even less informed than the last time.
opening the BC is good for the lake and the surrounding ecosystem. it is healthier at lower salinities and the clams on the lakebed filter any toxins or turbidity in a matter of days.
the MS river teems with fish and is a healthy and productive sport fishery, both in the main stem of the river and at the delta

Here's a novel idea, stop building shite where the water flows. People keep building up in the low areas causing water to go else where. I'm not talking about small house pads, I'm talking 100's+ house subdivisions in low areas with "retention" ponds.

And all of the dolphins with the freshwater lesions?

I am ok with people building there, just don't provide Federal Taxpayer subsidized flood insurance.

I love how those retention ponds are one of the first things developed and by the time the houses are finished they have filled in with erosion due to terrible erosion control.

dolphins have plenty of marine environment in which to frolic outside of the lake ponchartrain basin
Posted on 5/8/19 at 4:47 pm to LSUFanHouston
Every time there is a flood the river basin becomes smaller and smaller as more silt and residue is deposited in time. The bottom of the river actually rises and unless you dredge then the volume of water to cause the river to flood is less and less.
That’s happening now faster and faster because the river has been controlled since the levee system was built.

Dude, just admit you're pissed at the spillway openings pushing specks out of the lake and call it a day.

Global Warming is causing too much snow!

Part of the reason coastal erosion in LA is so bad is because we have restructured where the river can flow in favor of more levees and development in places that are a river plain. The natural flow of the river would deposit nutrient rich river sediment all throughout coastal Louisiana that would allow for the growth of plants that would help prevent all of the coastal destruction going on currently.
Opening the Bonnet Carre is actually a good thing in this case as some of these places can be replenished (albeit briefly) with some of the river water they normall would get naturally.
