My first video using a teleprompter, so apologies for the fast talking. I'm still working on getting the correct speed for presentations down, and I couldn't really fix it in post-production without messing up the video. If you're interested in listening to me talk slower, click on the Settings (Gear icon) and you can change the speed to 0.75. That helps a lot.
Young man you do an outstanding job on these videos. I recommend the book ‘Beyond Control” the Mississippi River’s New Channel to the Gulf of Mexico by James F. Barnett Jr. Keep up the great work.
@@north-shoregcs3894 I learned about this story in John McPhee's book The Control of Nature. It's hard to follow there, so this video helped me understand a lot. You might give it a look, though, it has two other very interesting chapters -- one on the mountains eroding into Los Angeles, and another on Iceland's efforts in 1973 to reroute the outflow of an erupting volcano.
Thanks for the awesome uploads. Had I had a teacher like you I'm pretty sure I'd be working for the corps of engineers at this point. I'm Fascinated with the information you have here.
One comment that I would add about a flaw in the US’ levees-only policy was that it was assumed that the velocity profile of the water was uniform, ie, the currents and the bottom of the water column was nearly to the top currents. This is not true and is partially a result of the amount of sediment load this is concentrated at the bottom. As a result, the scouring capability diminishes as you go from the top to the bottom.
I agree, the current isn't consistent from top to bottom. They change drastically by various different reasons. Wind, depth, direction (curves, bends ex.) But normally the bottom isn't as fast as the surface so this disproves the theory water cut the grand canyon over a course of years and years.
Hi Mr Klein my father started taking me fishing south of Natchez Ms. 63 years ago.I have a camp on Deer Park lake the corp of engineer placed weirs in the fiver north of OldRiver control and we flood every year now because of the river silting in between the weirs narrowing the channel leaving the river no place to go but up.

Don’t worry Mr.Klien the video is still godly like usual
@@ethanhanks200 You get a Tiger Buck.
The app "old maps" have maps of this area since the 1800's. All the variations of the river just like you explained. Thanks for making these videos.
Damn, he talks way too fast!
You best watch your mouth. Just saying. 😒

Any other books you’d recommend on the Mississippi or just rivers in general?

Great videos, by the way I love your Kimi Raikkonen t shirt!
Great job on this series! Love learning more about the history of flood control on the Mississippi River! Hope to see more!

Very interesting! I'm glad your channel was recommended to me by youtube...subscribed!
University of South Alabama has an on-campus swamp as well.
unless perhaps one is from louisiana, you talk too fast to follow all the unformation presented.
"Only swamp on a university campus - guess you gotta be number one for something" XD
Also awesome video!
Great information Thanks!
It needs to be open always all spillways
That’s a great Poké stop
That video quality tho👌
I tried recording with manual settings for once. Not going to lie, I impressed myself with the video quality.
Thanks , Loren. As you said,,, many new subjects covered by this video. Some of them new to me. The thanks are sincere. I love connecting the dots.
