West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Levee. Big army corps project to create floods in places that never flooded before.


All a levee can do is redirect the flow of water. It doesn’t reduce the volume of water.

But maybe they can redirect it to a lesser populated area.

The second part of your comment is correct. The first is not. A levee can also CONCENTRATE flow of water. Go and study what has happened with the Atchafalaya and Mississippi Rivers as a result of the COE efforts over the years.
