New Orleans levee


In this Saturday, March 10, 2007 file photo, Daren J. Eller watches as pumps put in place by the Army Corps of Engineers extract water from New Orleans' 17th Street Canal into Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans. One of the levees along the canal failed during Hurricane Katrina, contributing heavily to the flooding of the city. The pumps and floodgate are designed to control the water level in the drainage canals during a storm event. (AP Photo/Bill Haber, File)
