Backwater Overview
Backwater Flooding Overview
• The backwater high levels in Humphreys, Issaquena,
Sharkey, Warren, and Yazoo counties have prevented
local officials from safely documenting damages, and
cost projections for the restoration of damaged homes
and infrastructures
• The economic damage to the region and workers in
the agricultural industry is severe. Within the
backwater counties alone, the aggregate total for crop
damages collected by the USDA stands at $648 million
and is expected to exceed $800 million
• Both USACE and Mississippi Levee Board data clearly
shows the water levels in the backwater counties have
remained at or above flood levels exceeding 130 days,
with some areas exceeding 150 consecutive days
