The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tests the Bonnet Carré Spillway as the Mississippi River's water levels rise.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting test operations of the Bonnet Carré Spillway, a flood-control system in Louisiana, as the Mississippi River's water levels rise.
Engineers removed wooden pins to allow water to flow through one bay, preparing for a possible full opening if the river reaches 16.5 feet.
This test comes amid concerns from environmental groups that opening the spillway could harm the Mississippi Sound, suggesting alternative measures like using the Morganza spillway instead.
The Corps is closely monitoring the situation.
