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.

I've read Rising Tide at least 3 times. My argument is that the levees have caused the problems we are having, but we are too far in to go back now.
