The Old River Control Structure is a floodgate system in a branch of the Mississippi River in central Louisiana. It regulates the flow of water from the Mississippi into the Atchafalaya River, thereby preventing the Mississippi River from changing course. Completed in 1963, the complex was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in a side channel of the Mississippi known as "Old River", between the Mississippi's current channel and the Atchafalaya Basin, a former channel of the Mississippi.

rdfs:comment	Old River Control Structure ist ein System von drei Wehren mit Hochwasserklappen am westlichen Ufer des Mississippi River im Norden von Louisiana bei River Mile 315, also 507 km oberhalb vom Head of Passes (dort teilt sich der Hauptarm des Stromes in drei Mündungsarme, die sich in den Golf von Mexiko entleeren). Der Bauwerkkomplex befindet sich an der Stelle, an der sich der Atchafalaya River, ein Mündungsarm des Mississippi River, vom Hauptarm trennt. Die 1963 fertiggestellte Anlage wurde durch das U.S. Army Corps of Engineers erbaut, um die Wassermenge zu regulieren, die vom Mississippi River in den Atchafalaya River abfließen kann. Wären diese Bauwerke nicht vorhanden, flösse weitaus mehr Wasser in das System des Atchafalaya River ab, weil dieser Flusslauf zum Golf von Mexiko viel kürze (de) The Old River Control Structure is a floodgate system in a branch of the Mississippi River in central Louisiana.

(en) La structure de régulation des eaux d'Old River (Old River Control Structure) est un ouvrage construit par l'US Army Corps of Engineers au défluent du Mississippi et de l'Atchafalaya afin de préserver la distribution de l'eau entre les deux cours, à 70 % et 30 %, respectivement. L'ouvrage a été conçu pour arrêter l'augmentation du débit coulant depuis le Mississippi dans l'Atchafalaya, en raison du trajet plus court, au dénivelé de plus en plus grand, de ce dernier vers le Golfe du Mexique. La structure a été achevée en 1963. Le complexe est situé au point mile 315 sur le Mississippi inférieur, à 506 km en amont du delta du Mississippi. (fr) Het Old River Control System is een Amerikaans waterbouwwerk uit 1963 met stuwen beheerd door de United States Army Corps of Engineers dat het debiet van de Mississippi regelt. Het complex ligt ten noorden van Simmesport in het uiterst noorden van de staat Louisiana. Historisch vloeide de Red River of the South hier in de Mississippi die van hier via meerdere beddingen in de deltamonding zijn weg zocht naar de Golf van Mexico. In de geschiedenis is de Mississippi meermaals geswitchd van zijn huidige gecontroleerde loop in de delta naar de loop van de Atchafalaya River en terug. Een dergelijke evolutie wordt evenwel nu niet meer wenselijk geacht. (nl)
