USA - Workers with the U.S. Army Corps of engineers opened the Bonnet Carre Spillway to drain water from the Mississippi River on Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016, in Norco, Louisiana. The Mississippi River water levels are rising because of heavy December rain in the Midwest. The opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway helps relieve pressure on the New Orleans-area levees by making sure the water doesn’t flow faster than 1.25 million cubic feet per second through the city - which is enough to fill the equivalent of the city's Superdome in less than 2 minutes.
