I guess no one reads "Scientific American".

Or is a fan of the long-term Public Broadcasting
NOVA series.  Look at:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/listseason/09.html

And scan down for "Goodbye Louisiana," which originally
aired in <b>November, 1982</b>.  It says:

"NOVA reports on the staggering water problems of Southern
 Louisiana?where the mighty Mississippi is threatening to 
 change its course, and where last year 49 square miles of 
 coastline disappeared into the Gulf of Mexico.

 Original broadcast date: 11/03/82 
 Topic: environment/ecology"

I remembered seeing a Nova on precisely this:  Lake Ponchetrain(sp?)
and the Mississippi being higher than New Orleans, coastal
erosion, inadequate and outdated pumps and levees, proposals
to build flood gates across the Mississippi, but I was
surprised at just how long ago it originally aired.
