Numerical Modeling of River Diversions in the Lower Mississippi River
… of man-made levees along the Lower Mississippi River (MR) has significantly reduced the River sediment input to the wetlands and much of the River's sediment is now lost to the Gulf of Mexico. The sediment load in the River has also been decreased by dams and river revetments along the Upper MR. …

Bulle-Effect and its implications for morphodynamics of river diversions
… one of the fundamental elements of a fluvial (river) system, and diversions are a special type of asymmetrical bifurcation where one of the channels after bifurcation continues along the original channel. Diversions can be found in nature, though many of them are built to divert water and …

Sensitivity of the Estuarine-shelf Exchange in Mississippi Coastal Waters to River Diversions and Linkage Pathway Bathymetry: A Modeling Study
<p>The exchange flow between the Mississippi (MS) Sound and Bight is an intricate circulation pattern that affects many important regional processes, including flushing time, sediment transport, and larval dispersion. This study examines the exchange flow in the MS Sound by estimating the volume …

The effect of habitat change on nutrient removal in the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana
The Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers are the major sources of freshwater and nutrients to the Gulf of Mexico. Increased nutrient loads from these rivers exacerbate eutrophication in coastal receiving waters and contribute to the large area of hypoxia that develops seasonally in the Gulf. Levees …

Interactions of insect herbivory and multiple abiotic stress agents on two wetland tree species in southeast Louisiana swamps
… are hydrologically isolated from the Mississippi River, impounded by manmade structures, impacted by saltwater intrusion, and are sinking, resulting in more frequent flooding for longer periods. Additionally, defoliation of the two dominant trees, baldcypress (Taxodium distichum L. Rich) and water …

Modeling the impacts of pulsed riverine inflows on hydrodynamics and water quality in the Barataria Bay estuary
… around the world. In Louisiana, controlled diversions of the Mississippi River water back into coastal wetlands are thought to be an important engineering solution that could reverse coastal land loss. There are concerns, however, that freshwater diversions may increase nutrient inputs and …
