随着密西西比河水位上升,美国陆军工兵团正在路易斯安那州洪水控制系统Bonnet Carré Spillway进行测试作业。 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting test operations of the Bonnet Carré Spillway, a flood-control system in Louisiana, as the Mississippi River's water levels rise. 工程师拆除了木质针,允许水流过一个海湾,准备在河水达到16.5英尺时可能有一个全面开口。 Engineers removed wooden pins to allow water to flow through one bay, preparing for a possible full opening if the river reaches 16.5 feet. 这个测试来自环境团体的担忧, 认为开通溢出道会损害密西西比湾, 并提出了替代措施, 例如使用摩根扎溢出道。 This test comes amid concerns from environmental groups that opening the spillway could harm the Mississippi Sound, suggesting alternative measures like using the Morganza spillway instead. 军团正在密切监测局势。 The Corps is closely monitoring the situation.
