The Impact of Levee Openings on Storm Surge: A Numerical Analysis in Coastal Louisiana

The existence of the Mississippi River (MR) and Tributaries’ levees in coastal Louisiana could block storm surge and cause surge setup in adjacent basins. In order to reduce storm surge amplification caused by these barriers, one possible solution is to build “floodways” through the mainstem MR leve...
