Is there no aquifer in the area that can be tapped?

Yes but they connect to the Gulf of Mexico and are either salt water or brackish.

The number one indication of an advance civilization is the ample supply of drinking water. (think ancient Greece and Roman empire)

The number two indication of an advanced civilization is the adequate disposal of waste water. (if you every go to a third world country one of the first things you smell is the unmistakable aroma of sewage. it sometimes can gag a maggot). Contaminated water and insects and other critters are the most common vector for disease. Malaria, dengue fever, Cholora are examples.

Lack of potable water is a problem for a lot of the world. It's just never been an issue for modern US except for isolated instances. This would be a huge problem for the lower Mississippi.
It seems like these issues are not getting a lot of attention. Is there a technical/engineering way to mitigate the situation? Improve the ORCS, maybe?

Helmut...think there’s any chance they shut down I-10 or Hwy 190??

Not for opening the few bays of Morganza.

Good to hear...thanks!

We’ve had the morgaza 100% open in the past I believe. I surely recall driving over a totally flooded Basin on the I-10.

No where close. 42 gates opened the first time and 11 gates opened in 2011. There are a total of 125 gates.

17 gates were opened in 2011. You are correct in that no where close to all gates ever being opened.
