The Morganza Spillway or Morganza Control Structure is a flood-control structure in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is located along the western bank of the Lower Mississippi River at river mile 280, near Morganza in Pointe Coupee Parish. The spillway stands between the Mississippi and the Morganza Floodway, which leads to the Atchafalaya Basin and the Atchafalaya River in south-central Louisiana. Its purpose is to divert water from the Mississippi River during major flood events by flooding the Atchafalaya Basin, including the Atchafalaya River and the Atchafalaya Swamp. The spillway and adjacent levees also help prevent the Mississippi from changing its present course through the major port cities of Baton Rouge and New Orleans to a new course down the Atchafalaya River to the Gulf of Me

rdfs:comment	Der Morganza Spillway ist ein Wasserbauwerk am Mississippi River oberhalb von Morganza am Westufer des Stromes in Louisiana. Es liegt an der Flussmeile 280, also rund 450 km oberhalb vom im südlichen Bereich des Pointe Coupee Parish und wird vom United States Army Corps of Engineers betrieben. Das Bauwerk dient dazu, bei Hochwasser den Stand des Flusses zu senken und während extremer Flutereignisse das Wasser an den Städten Baton Rouge und New Orleans vorbei zu leiten, indem es in den Atchafalaya River und das Atchafalaya Basin geleitet wird. Dadurch soll auch der potentiellen Gefahr begegnet werden, dass der Mississippi River nach einem Hochwasser dauerhaft seinen Lauf ändert, was enorme ökologische und wirtschaftliche Folgen hätte.
