As far as I know there is no system that would diver this water. Also post Katrina financially it would not be worth while to save one over the other as a significant portion of the population and their companies moved to Baton Rouge. We also place host to some of the largest chemical production and refining capacity in the nation.
Louisiana does have diversion systems like you mention, they are enacted when needed and the residents of the flood plane are advised beforehand. People who reside in those areas literally know better as they are notified when purchasing or leasing those properties. Much of it is farmland or hunting and fishing cabins. There are also houseboats in some of the basins.
