It's very complex. I wouldn't venture a guess. The most reasonable thing I have read, in essence, is that it is not very good at first because of the immediate damage, but that within 2-3 years, there are some benefits seen, e.g., the fresh water into Lake Pontchartrain will bring in nutrients that will create immediate problems for salt water life, will give us algae blooms, etc., but within 2-3 years, the nutrients will have some very nice effects and we will have a real fishing bonanza in the lake. The river spilled its banks regularly, created some very fertile land over the centuries. Who knows, very complicated issue.
