Public land for levees

One of the concerns in the Greater New Orleans area is the private land that may need to be taken over to make stronger levees. This point came home strongly with the land at West End that the Army Corps of Engineers has taken over to make floodgates at the mouth of the 17th street canal. This concern has now arrived in California where private land may be taken over to strengthen levees in the Sacramento River delta.
