The numbers I have heard to build a proper levee system comparable to that the Dutch have is $14 Billion. Using hindsight, of course everyone wishes that had been done. But, its pretty hard to pry that kind of money out of Congress AND THE STATE (as in those projects its a joint affair) when nothing like this ever occurred before. Hopefully, an adequate levee system will be constructed even before the rebuilding of the low lands occurs, if it ever does. jdn
