Two Lakes : Dreams Realized
| |
|
|
Summary
| Among all the flood solutions that have been
considered for Jackson, the flood control lakes, even
without reservoir help, prevent the most flooding and create the smallest increase in
flood levels elsewhere. The lakes allow the reservoir to finish the job by reducing flood
levels everywhere, including downstream. In addition, this is also the plan which returns
the most net gain to the central Mississippi region. This increased resource is supposed
to be shared by all of the affected communities within the central region of Mississippi.
The important thing is that this plan is the one that creates the most worth sharing. |
