I honestly don’t know. I’d love to be able to get rid of levees all together and let nature take its course. This includes river levees. I know that’s not a viable option as we are too deep in. I’m afraid all of this will be for naught and that we are only expediting the inevitable in an attempt to prolong the inevitable.

You may want to read up on the flood of 1927 before you do away with the levees. Sadly once we locked in the course of the Mississippi River then South Louisiana was done for. Nothing is there to impede the rising water when the south winds blow. The land is also still settling so you can tack on a few inches or so. Enjoy the marsh while you can because I fear that it will be all open water up to the levees in 50 years or so.
