A lack of rainfall has led to lower levels of fresh water in the Mississippi River, which has allowed the denser saltwater layer beneath to rise upstream over the past two months. Usually, the strength of the river flow in tandem with an underwater sill work to keep the saltwater at bay. But on Monday, the saltwater overtopped the sill, entering the drinking water of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans City Councilmember Joseph Giarrusso said that the saltwater surge could lead to a loss of adequate water access for residents, especially those in poorer neighborhoods, hospitals and dialysis centers, hotels, local businesses and more.<\/p>\n<p>The saltwater threat in New Orleans is not unprecedented. A similar intrusion took place in 1988, though it only lasted several days before rainfall restored the Mississippi River to regular conditions. In more recent years, saltwater has drifted higher upstream but not to the extent of the past week. Some New Orleanians are wondering why the city is always playing defense, despite the warning signs of saltwater intrusion in years past. The lack of rainfall in New Orleans correlates with predictions about the changing climate.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/09\/28\/biden-national-emergency-new-orleans-saltwater-intrusion.html\">CNBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-408\/\">New Orleans residents brace for salt water intrusion as Biden declares national emergency<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11646,11647],"class_list":["post-117263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-new-orleans","tag-salt-water"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117263\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
