Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of an initial evaluation to determine the advisability of improvements or modifications of existing improvements in coastal areas of Louisiana in the interest of water supply. The study area includes all lands subject to tidal overflow in 20 coastal parishes. In 1980, the population of the area was about 2,077,934 and is projected to increase to 3.045,000 by the year 2040. Water supply withdrawals in the study area were nearly 11 billion gallons/day in 1980, 87% was from surface water sources. Major surface water sources, besides the Mississippi River, are the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, the Mermentau River, the Calcasieu River, and Bayou Lafourche. Some 39 square miles of land are lost each year to subsidence and erosion, and that rate is projected to increase. As the marshlands are converted to open water, the opportunity for saltwater intrusion are greatly increased. Current water supplies are frequently subject to saltwater intrusion and a number of coastal communities are seeking alternative sources of fresh water. Six problem areas were identified and 27 alternative plans were developed. From a preliminary analysis of cost and impacts, 12 plans were recommended for further study. The total study cost for the five studies, including the initial evaluation cost, is $3,800,000. The first study would be complete by the end of fiscal year 1987.

Chew and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barataria and Breton Sound Basins have experienced rapid loss of coastal wetlands due to natural processes such as subsidence and erosion, as well as man's developmental activities including leveeing, channelization, and petroleum exploration. These activities have led to a reduction in overbank flooding and natural distributary flow which historically provided fresh water, sediments, and nutrients to estuarine area. This has resulted in conversion of fresh, intermediate, and brackish marshes to intermediate, brackish, and saline marshes, respectively, as well as loss of some areas of wooded swamp. Saltwater intrusion and loss of wetlands have adversely affected productivity of wildlife and fishery resources. Influx of saline waters is particularly harmful to the American oyster, due to increased predation. One way to ameliorate losses of wetland nursery areas and rate of saltwater intrusion is timely introduction of fresh water and associated sediments and nutrients. A total of 16 plans were evaluated for diversion of fresh water into the study area. These 16 plans consist basically of combinations of six fresh water deversion sites and various magnitudes of flow. Based on the results of this study, it has been recommended that fresh water from the Mississippi River be diverted into the Barataria Basin at a site near Davis Pond (river mile 118.4) and into the Breton Sound Basin at Big Mar (river mile 81.5).
