NEW ORLEANS - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans District released Dec. 7 the latest Saltwater Wedge Timeline forecast of when water treatment facilities may be impacted by saltwater intrusion along the Mississippi River.
USACE uses the National Weather Service 28-day Lower Mississippi River forecast, daily river observations and computer modeling to project the progression of the saltwater intrusion as it relates to the multiple municipal water treatment facilities along the river.
Based on the latest forecast chloride levels are expected to remain above 250 parts per million through 28-day forecast at: Boothville, Port Sulphur and Pointe A La Hache, La.
