Why did the US Nuke Mississippi Twice? (Project Dribble)--Phenomenon Explained
In the 1960's in the midst of the Cold War, the US government descended upon rural Mississippi to conduct not one but two underground nuclear tests to determine the science behind hiding nuclear tests from observations. It's a story of drilling rigs, radioactive frogs, and lightning strikes all in the piney woods of the Magnolia State. Oh and me triggering Boomers because I sometimes don't pronounce nuclear or salmon the way they want... but blame the conflicting sources for the pronunciation of the latter.

On either side of New Orleans along the Mississippi River sit the Davis Pond and Caernarvon Diversions, where a portion of the river is diverted into the surrounding wetlands. While most people think it's to add sediment to the rapidly-vanishing coastline, the reasons are quite different. In this video, we will take a tour of the sites, as well as discuss the near 100-year history of diverting ...

    The delta first started forming up by New Madrid, Missouri at the end of the Mississippi Ebayment. That was a basin that became flooded with sea water after rifting forced South America away from North America. Myron Cook's YT channel has three great videos about that and how sediments formed most of Texas and Louisiana.

  • @billwilson-es5yn
    @billwilson-es5yn Місяць тому

    The Atlantic Magazine has an excellent article online about how the Mississippi almost reverted back to its old channel in 1973. The Mississippi River channel routinely moved east to west then back to repeat the process. Lake Charles was formed the same way as Lake Ponchitrain when the delta was north of Houston. Louisiana's gulf coast was constantly being washed away with higher ground being created as annual flooding deposited more sediment on the lowlands. That has stopped due to modern flood controls. Those controls have allowed the Atchafalaya channel to become quite deep to provide a faster outlet to the GoM. The ACoE figured a failure of the dam at one end would have so much water rushing thru that the rest of the dam structure would've been swept away. The massive constant flow of water would cut the old channel deeper and wider so 99% of the Mississippi would flow into it, leaving the channel south of it as a giant mudflat with a small river running thru the center.

    loren,you know as well as i and many others know the reason the mississippi river is losing water is because a man named shreve(for his own greed) promoted the diversion of the red river into the atchafalaya basin,which at that time wasnt as large as it is now,thereby diverting the amount of water going into the mississippi river to less than before that occured.

  • @markcheckley3715
    @markcheckley3715 4 місяці тому

    What was NOT discussed is the small-but-possible event of an avulsion through Bonnet Carre to Lake Pontchartrain. This would help the gradient, and take a lot of strain off the system whilst at the same time maintaining the status quo at Baton Rouge and New Orleans. It would kick the can of an Atchafalaya avulsion several hundred years into the future. Not a permanent solution, but there isn't one because even an Atchafalaya avulsion would, in time, silt up and there would be another avulsion. That is in the nature of deltas. A substantial "encouraged avulsion" through Lake Pontchartrain coupled to the already-planned increased flow along Bayou Lafourche might give some centuries of stability IMHO.
