[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 835073, member: 2653"] You know fisher, every year (spring) the Mississippi goes way up because of the snowfall melt up north (although rarely this high). That would be a good idea to divert some of the flow to Texas. They sure need it. There is a control structure that diverts a percentage of the Mississippi into the Atchafalaya. I'm sure a canal could be built to carry some of that over to Texas and help. On the map, though, we're about even with Houston, so I don't know how much help it would bring to the really dry areas of Texas. Maybe pull the water from father up the Mississippi? It's not like you'd have to go through mountains, we're way flatter than Morgana. By the way the spillway is doing fine. I took the family across it yesterday. The opened traffic once they felt the structure was safe. 4 gates open yesterday evening, and it was an amazing sight. Huge fish jumping everywhere, and it looked like rapids you'd see in Colorado, but way bigger. Should take the water 3 days to reach the gulf. [/QUOTE]
