- W2218199848 abstract "The Mississippi Delta: A Struggle to be Ended between Man and Nature The Mississippi is the third longest river and has the third largest basin in the world. However, it is much more impetuous and unpredictable than its rivals, its floods being terribly devastating. This unpredictability applies in particular to its lower course, which has changed several times in recorded history. Ever since the French foundation of New Orleans in 1718, this river has held a major place in American economic history and particularly in the development of civil and hydraulic engineering. Overall, over the last two centuries, the river basin has represented one of the world’s foremost public work sites. This has been made necessary by the increasing use of its waters and flood plains for transport, agricultural and industrial purposes. The growth and physical expansion of New Orleans, and even more so of the petroleum and natural gas industry, have profoundly altered even destroyed much of the Mississippi delta’s ecosystems, largely because of urban and industrial expansion and New Orleans itself is becoming more vulnerable. Although known for a long time, this vulnerability was spectacularly revealed to the face of the world when hurricane Katrina struck the delta at the end of August 2005. New Orleans will continue to represent, or so it seems, man’s stubborn and arrogant determination to subjugate the Old Mighty, one of the world’s most complex natural hydraulic system." @default.
