- W589045207 abstract "This article concerns the California levee system that both protects urban areas and keeps drinking water safe for over 20 million California citizens. These concerns have been brought to the fore by the 2005 destruction of the levees in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. The damaged levees that this article describes, mostly brought into an unstable state through old-age decay, mainly service the Delta and Bay Region between Sacramento, San Francisco Bay Area, and Stockton and the Central Valley between Stockton and Bakersfield. Much of the problem with the Central Valley’s levee system is that it was built ad hoc by local farmers with immediate agricultural interests in mind. Following this, the Army Corps of Engineers did improve on the infrastructure, building dams and reservoirs, but has not yet built a significant overall levee system that would be efficacious in flood abatement. Although such inadequacy in levee infrastructure would be troublesome even if the Central Valley was only populated by agricultural development, the upswing in urban development has many worried of disastrous consequences if the system is not improved in the near future. Similar problems in the Delta Region could potentially suck salt water from the San Francisco Bay into drinking water reserves, endangering supplies throughout the entire state." @default.
