LWI Region 5 Mermentau Proof-of-Concept #4 Fresh Water Bayou Alternative
Proof-of-Concept (PoC) simulation using August 2016 historical storm event hydrology and dredges a channel from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) to Freshwater Bayou Canal to drain and provide relief to the GIWW within the landmass bordered on the north by the GIWW and on the south by the Gulf. The objective of this PoC is to lower the WSEs within the landmass bordered on the north by the GIWW and on the south by the Gulf.
