And how to get rid of billions of gallons of water? It won't just "recede", as it has nowhere to go.

Simple.

- Plug the levees.

- Pump out the water.

The devil is in the details and how long it's gonna take.

Maybe instead of pumps we should just send in gondolas.

The engineers are already working on plans for the levees, but its going to be very hard. They are in areas not even accessible by road anymore.

Heard one army engineer this moring talking about how they will use 3000 pound bags mixed with gravel and sand to patch the big breaks in the leeves.

They are going to have to helicopter in everything. Very complicated.
