the geological situation is much more complicated than just building a higher or 'more effective' levee around lake ponchartraine....the loss of the sedimentation process (eliminating the natural buffer) has been CAUSED by the levees built further upstream....

it is 2 to 10' below sea level and it continues to subside...

a hard decision is going to have to be made as to whether we continue throw good money after bad by perpetuating the same flawed policy

you might be able to postpone the next catastrophe by building higher levees, but it will happen again...do we really want to throw billions and billions at this problem only to see it bulldozed by the next cat 4 or 5 hurricane?
