I'm in the excavation business, and it looks to me like the levees would need to be restored for pumping
to do any good. Don't know of any pumps faster than that lake, or the sea. Just MHO.

Yes. The water flow will slow and stop, marine construction companies will move into place and erect cofferdams, then pump dry the work site, then rebuild the levees.
Barring a miracle, NO will not be pumped dry until the levees are repaired.
Thanks for the info. What is a coffer dam? I wondereed once the equilibrium is reached, how do you build a damn in the middle of a lake. I don't know nuffin about engineering.
