Mark Twain called it the magnificent Mississippi. He said the river will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise.

It s part of a structure called a sediment diversion, designed to pull water and a whole lot of sand out of the river and into Louisiana s Barataria Basin.
