A Dutch Perspective on Coastal Louisiana Flood Risk Reduction and Landscape Stabilization

Abstract

Final report of a reconnaissance level research project carried out by a consortium under the Netherlands Water Partnership. The project was aimed at identifying options for the long-term reduction of flood risks and landscape stabilization in Planning Areas I and 2 in Louisiana, in the framework of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration project (LACPR).
