题名: With Lower Mississippi River Above 11 Feet, New Orleans District Enacts Flood Fight
正文语种: eng
作者: FRANK MCCORMACK
摘要: The Mississippi River at the Carroll-ton Gage in New Orleans has risen to a stage not seen since the end of May 2022: 11 feet. And while that's well below flood stage (17 feet) and a full 10 feet below the record height set almost 101 years ago (21.27 feet), 11 feet is nonetheless the trigger point for the New Orleans Engineer District to activate its Phase 1 flood fight. The New Orleans District announced the enhanced flood fight measures March 9. The Phase I flood fight means the district will patrol Mississippi River levees twice weekly until the Carrollton Gage drops below 11 feet. More frequent patrols allow the Corps and levee authorities to more quickly identify and respond to any issues caused by high water.
