This book was released on 1996 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USACE New Orleans District has been authorized by Congress to construct a structure at the Bonnet Carre' floodway to divert Mississippi River water into Lake Pontchartrain in order to reduce salinities in the Mississippi-Louisiana estuarine area. The project involves consideration of the roles that the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) and Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) play in the system's salinities, and the District asked the Committee on Tidal Hydraulics to review information on the Bonnet Carre' Freshwater Diversion project and answer the following questions: (1) Can the contribution of the MRGO-IHNC to the increase in salinity in Lake Pontchartrain and adjacent waterways be economically controlled? (2) If so, can the Bonnet Carre freshwater diversions be reduced in magnitude while still producing. This report by the Committee on Tidal Hydraulics provides the following conclusions: (1) The Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) contributes about 5 percent of the Lake Pontchartrain tidal prism but about 9 percent of the salt flux into the lake. (2) The Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) contributes about six times as much salt to Lake Borgne as the IHNC contributes to Lake Pontchartrain. (3) Salt intrusion to Lake Pontchartrain cannot be significantly reduced by controlling flows at the IHNC connection to the lake, but construction of a sill-weir combination might alleviate the hypoxia zone that forms in Lake Pontchartrain near the airport. Further field data are needed to determine how effective such a structure would be.

Download or read book Salinity Changes in Pontchartrain Basin Estuary Resulting from Bonnet Carre' Freshwater Diversion. Numerical Model Investigation written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One purpose of the diversion is to reduce salinities in the Biloxi Marshes by 2 to 8 parts per thousand (ppt) in order to improve oyster productivity. A range of monthly salinities has been identified as the desired product of the project. Those salinities, called the Chatry salinities in this report, consist of a narrow band of 'optimum' salinities and a somewhat wider band of 'range limits.' A time varying, three dimensional numerical model of the estuary was constructed using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers TABS-MD modeling system. The modeled area included Lakes Maurepas, Pontchartrain, and Borgne, Biloxi Marshes, and a portion of Chandeleur Sound plus connecting waterways of Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO), Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Chef Menteur, and The Rigolets. All major tributary freshwater flows were simulated, as were tides at the Gulf of Mexico boundary and winds. The model computed instantaneous water levels and current velocities and salinities in three spatial dimensions throughout the area modeled. The model was verified to satisfactory reproduce hydrodynamic behavior observed in the natural system in 1982 and 1994. Four conditions were modeled for April through August of a typical year: a Base condition with no diversion, Plan RT with freshwater diversions up to 20,000 cfs, Plan MBP5 with freshwater diversions up to 8,500 cfs, and Plan LBCl, with no freshwater diversions but with the connections between the MRGO and Lake Borgue closed. The numerical model results were used to construct a simple regression equation that relates Biloxi Marsh salinities at a point to freshwater flows from the natural tributaries plus the diversions. The equation was then used to develop other diversion schedules that offered various salinity reduction scenarios.

Book Synopsis Louisiana's Response to Extreme Weather by : Shirley Laska
Download or read book Louisiana's Response to Extreme Weather written by Shirley Laska and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book takes an in-depth look at Louisiana as a state which is ahead of the curve in terms of extreme weather events, both in frequency and magnitude, and in its responses to these challenges including recovery and enhancement of resiliency. Louisiana faced a major tropical catastrophe in the 21st century, and experiences the fastest rising sea level. Weather specialists, including those concentrating on sea level rise acknowledge that what the state of Louisiana experiences is likely to happen to many more, and not necessarily restricted to coastal states. This book asks and attempts to answer what Louisiana public officials, scientists/engineers, and those from outside of the state who have been called in to help, have done to achieve resilient recovery. How well have these efforts fared to achieve their goals? What might these efforts offer as lessons for those states that will be likely to experience enhanced extreme weather? Can the challenges of inequality be truly addressed in recovery and resilience? How can the study of the Louisiana response as a case be blended with findings from later disasters such as New York/New Jersey (Hurricane Sandy) and more recent ones to improve understanding as well as best adaptation applications – federal, state and local?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arkansas: A Narrative History is a comprehensive history of the state that has been invaluable to students and the general public since its original publication. Four distinguished scholars cover prehistoric Arkansas, the colonial period, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and incorporate the newest historiography to bring the book up to date for 2012. A new chapter on Arkansas geography, new material on the civil rights movement and the struggle over integration, and an examination of the state’s transition from a colonial economic model to participation in the global political economy are included. Maps are also dramatically enhanced, and supplemental teaching materials are available. “No less than the first edition, this revision of Arkansas: A Narrative History is a compelling introduction for those who know little about the state and an insightful survey for others who wish to enrich their acquaintance with the Arkansas past.” —Ben Johnson, from the Foreword
