Abstract
The effect of an outlet, operative at all stages, from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya River, is discussed in this paper. This continuous diversion decreases the volume of the Mississippi and increases that of the Atchafalaya. The result of this diversion is set forth and provides a means of proving or of disproving some of the present hydraulic theories and opinions.
For present purposes, a like volume of water (bank-full stage) through the various years, and the passage of this like volume of water past the gauge station as registered by the gauge height are analyzed at points on both rivers.
