Subject: When we were in Holland, we were told that Dutch engineers could have saved NO. Their lives depend on making dikes work and controlling the water. They should have been called in long before Katrina struck.
In reply to: Allegra 's message, "it is such an opportunity, to re-grow those neighborhoods and use our brains and best technology whilst doing it. We watched part of When the Levees Broke last night, and there was a segment showing some of our engineers going over to Holland to see how they have built their levees, and WOW! What a brilliant solution. Apparently, Louisiana does not receive their fair share of revenue from the oil that is mined off shore - in fact most of the profit goes to Texas!??? Louisiana state officials and spokemen said, in the movie, that if the state would be allowed to get their money from THEIR oil, the state could easily fund all the rebuilding and construction of effective levees. Sorry for the length of this" on 11:11:40 09/02/06 Sat

The language must have been written in Dutch and translated, some of the grammar seems awkward. But the site is understandable and even has graphics depicting how the various Dutch water management devices work.
