Atchafalaya Bay, Louisiana, contains one of the world's most actively growing deltas. Growth of that delta will affect the physical environment of the area, navigation projects, and flood control projects. The hydraulic system in which the delta occurs contains riverine, lacustrine, estuarine, and marine environments, along with extensive wetlands. Cohesive and noncohesive sediment movement is subject to tidal and riverflow influences, as modified by winds, waves, and density currents. A plan was constructed that would permit delta evolution for the next 50 years to be predicted along with anticipated impacts of that delta growth. The plan included multiple approaches to predict delta growth, ranging from simple extrapolation to complex numerical modeling.
