Lower Mississippi River Physical Model & Reception
The Water Campus*
Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024
5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
*For out-of-town guests, transportation will be provided between LSU, the Water Campus,
and the main conference hotels.
Guests will view the 10,000 sq. ft. model of the Mississippi River Delta in southeast Louisiana. The model replicates the flow, water levels, and sediment (sand) transport of the river. Twenty high-definition projectors illuminate the model and bring the river and coast to life. More than 18 acoustic sensors coincide with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers river gauges on the Mississippi River and measure water levels in the model river.
At the conclusion of the river model tour, guests will walk across River Road for
an evening reception at The Estuary event venue overlooking the actual Mighty Mississippi.
