The major water resource problem in the Aloha-Rigolette area is agricultural flooding. The agricultural area represents 18 percent of the basin and is nearly surrounded by wooded hill lands that constitute the remainder of the basin. Runoff from the entire basin is funneled through the flat plain of the agricultural area into a control structure located at the southern end of the basin. Other water-related resources such as fish and wildlife, recreation, and water quality were investigated. Although no problem was identified, there appear to be opportunities to enhance these resources. Throughout the planning process, opportunities for water conservation were assessed.

Flooding in the basin occurs largely in the agricultural region of the Aloha-Rigolette area and is caused by interior runoff. Previously, the basin also sustained flooding from Red River overflow. In the mid-1950's, flooding from this source was alleviated by construction of a levee along Red River and floodgates in the levee at the mouth of Bayou Rigolette. The floodgates serve as the only means of evacuating water from the basin. Since the mid-50's, agricultural development in the basin has increased dramatically. Concurrently, the amount of rainfall runoff increased. The streams in the agricultural area and the existing floodgates are now overtaxed by basin runoff. To address this problem, 22 alternative plans including a no-action plan were developed, assessed, and evaluated in this study.
