By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Good Monday morning, Acadiana. Let's start off your week with business headlines. The water level in Henderson Lake in the Atchafalaya Basin reached historic levels last month as parish officials in coordination with the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enacted a drawdown July 1 by opening the locks near Butte La Rose to manage the aquatic vegetation in the lake and enhance fisheries habitat. It ended Nov. 1 as the water level at Lake Pelba got down to 6 feet, but in many areas of Henderson Lake and the areas along Interstate 10 the water receded almost completely. It's something St. Martin Parish officials try to do each year, but not since 2014 has Mother Nature helped out so much with offering so little rain. You can read the story here. Have a great day and see you back here Tuesday morning. |
