Description
This image of the Bonnet Carre Spillway was taken in June 2011 the day they begain to close the flood gates. Opening them was an historic event as the Mississippi River was at highest levels in may many years. The spillway and The Marganza Spillway which is farther upriver and sends water into the Atchafalaya Basin were opened for several weeks preventing the levees from being over topped in many areas.
