Take a guided tour (Well, watch me stand at the edge of the structure...) of the Morganza Spillway and learn about its purpose, construction, operation, and effects of the structure in times of flooding on the Mississippi River.

This video was also updated in time to comment on the US Army Corps of Engineers' decision to indefinitely postpone the opening of the spillway in June 2019.
