The Mississippi River Basin is one of the world's largest development projects, with agricultural intensification and increasingly dense settlement of its banks, arms and deltas. The introduction of huge oil and natural gas deposits and the growth of New Orleans has only accelerated the modification or destruction of the rich and varied ecosystems of the delta (marshes and bayous) by urbanization, and the metropolis appears more and more vulnerable.

I agree that NOLA is very vulnerable. We will discuss that topic in a later part of this series.
I hope so thanks.
