  1. Planning Louisiana’s River Diversions December 15, 2010

  2. Coastal Louisiana is Facing a Crisis

  3. River Diversions: Now

  4. River Diversions: Planning Then • Planning approach • Project specific • Project area effects • Project resource allocation • Best available science and engineering • Modeling - conceptual to hydrodynamic

  5. River Diversions: Planning Now Comprehensive systems approach Better understanding of supply side (river) resource availability/impacts Better understanding of basin side impacts from multiple actions Driven by 2012 Master Plan Update • Vision • Decision Criteria, Constraints, and Uncertainties • Comprehensive Project-effects Models • Prioritization Tool • Prioritized Project Portfolios • Expected Outcomes • Adaptive Management and Implementation Plan • Long–term Funding Scenarios

  6. More than Concepts and Broad Strategies – An Implementation Plan with Expected Outcomes

  7. How do we shift approaches? • Ongoing and gradual • Final size and location not yet determined • No construction funding at this time • Planning approach and science being further developed to inform decisions: • Maximize restoration and protection outputs • Minimize negative impacts
