Would it be possible to divert part of the mississippi? I mean, the Corps' kept it at 30-70 for 50 years, would ti be physically possible to keep it at say 65-35? That way, N.O.'s still on the water but not in danger of flooding. Then again, it may be logistically impossible. As the extra water pours in and the Atchafalaya catches the Mississippi, maybe it'd become impossible to close the gates. I'm no engineer tho, what do yall think? Obviously Simmesport, Melville, Krotz Springs, and Morgan city would have to be abandoned, but I'd say it's a small price to pay to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.
