I don't remember what year this happened, but the MS River became so shallow that barge traffic was stopped around Vicksburg I believe. That was the first time that the value of the Tenn-Tom showed itself because some barge traffic was diverted to the Tenn-Tom, went down to Mobile to meet ships.

Salt water has a higher specitic gravity than fresh water so it sank beneath the fresh river water and backed up the river when the MS River flow slowed to the point it couldn't hold back the tidal pressures of the Gulf. The salt water came dangerously close to entering the NO water intake pipes at the bottom of the river. This happened during the 1990s I believe.
