That's great. 47,000 cuft/sec is over an acre foot a second. The only number I had was pump station #6 at 850 cuft/sec.

Does the 47k apply to downtown levee area or the entire NO area?

The ENTIRE NOLA area; I don't a good picture as to whether they have a zoned pumping system or not either ...

Where did you get that unrealistically low number from anyway?

Pump station #6 shows to have:

a) seven (7) 14' 1000 CF/s A. B. Wood screw pumps and

b) two (2) 12' 550 CF/s A. B. Wood screw pumps;

that is 8100 CF/s right there ...
