I suggest you read Cliff -

I said bypass the city - not to kill off the Delta.


Speeding up the flow of the Mississippi would tend to
do that. At least, where it now is.
I didn't say speed up - I said bypass. You speed on loops I guess.

All of those wandering loops slows it down.

Look at it this way: The runoff from snow & rain is X.
The volume of the river is Y.

The town is at the end of the flow - instead of sending it into
the town - all of it - make it into 100 rivers across the delta
that still exists. e.g. reverse funnel - .

IOW Undo part of what has been done to reduce floods.
The Corps of Engineers sort of tries to manage
the entire river systems. There are lots of other places
that can flood too.

Don't forget -- hurricanes are just part of the picture, as
is New Orleans.

It's really interesting G.
