Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix E. Flood Problems.
Abstract
The purpose of this Appendix is to present an assessment of the current and future flood problems in the Lower Mississippi Region and to provide input data for the formulation of a regional framework program. The study is preliminary or reconnaissance in nature and preliminary, generalized hydrology and hydraulic data were utilized extensively, along with quadrangle maps, and previous and current studies, when available. Field work was generally limited to reconnaissance of urban problem areas and certain areas which could not be evaluated otherwise. Information on prospective flood damages due to future developments was evaluated for both the National Income and Regional Development objectives. Projections were made of flood damages in the years 1980, 2000, and 2020 for each of the objectives and individually for upstream watersheds and principal stream reaches.
