Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix J. Navigation.

Abstract

The purpose of this appendix is to make a broad determination of the Lower Mississippi Region's navigation needs for the 50-year period 1970-2020, as analyzed under two objectives - that of national income and that of regional development. This assessment will point to the navigation problems and needs that can be expected to arise during the 50-year period of study. Determination can then be made of the proper means to solve such problems - whether it be deeper and wider waterways, new or larger locks, waterway extensions, improved harbor facilities, or offshore terminals. Historical and projected commerce evaluated in this study was limited only to the waterborne commerce moving in and through the region.
