West Pointe a la Hache Siphon Diversion
State Project Number: BA-04
Project Priority List (PPL): N/A
Project Type: Freshwater Diversion
Construction Completion Date: 1992
Description:
This project involves the construction of eight parallel siphons to divert water from the Mississippi River, over the levee, and into the adjacent wetlands on the west side of the river near Pointe a la Hache, Louisiana. The maximum discharge of the siphons is 2,100 cubic feet per second, which will potentially deliver up to 150,000 cubic yards of river sediment into the wetlands annually.
