Diversion Of Mississippi River Will Regrow Land In Louisiana

How can lost land be regrown on the Louisiana coast?

By letting the Mississippi River do what it did before levees - flow into areas and deposit sediment.

Construction is underway on the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, a unprecedented project in the world.

It will be a massive engineering structure but at its core is a natural solution relying on the power of water.
