Descrição: With many parts of New Orleans located at or below sea level, the city has long relied on an intricate drainage system of canals and pump stations to channel water away from low-lying areas. However, the area was in need of an immediate, systemwide upgrade to its urban drainage network. Because planning and implementing such a large, complex project would have been a difficult challenge for the local governments to accomplish alone, Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide expertise and matching funds to help expedite design and construction. The result is the $600-million Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, one of the largest civil works projects in U.S. history and the first major urban drainage improvement program to be managed by the Corps.
