Question

Describe how the process that built the land in south Louisiana could be used to restore wetlands?

Answer 1

During the flow of the river, water force gets remains alongside the riverbanks. As the water hits a larger body of water, the force in its flow became slow and the sediments it picks up settled on the lowest point of the riverbed. During the time Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico hits each other, sediments are deposited and it created the South Louisiana land. In order to use this process to rebuilt wetlands, dredged material from the Mississippi River must be used to create alteration pipelines of sediments. This process replicates the building process of original land and sediments deposition.
