Description
This book serves as a visual record of representative parts and pieces of the Hurricaneand Storm Damage Risk Reduction System, a true flood and surge defense system comprisedof traditional earthen levees and floodwalls as well as state-of-the-art flood-controlcomponents that are viewed as engineering marvels. Many of these unique structures willbe replicated by other cities in the United States and around the world.Although we would have liked to include pictures of all the projects in the HSDRRS,space limitations would not allow us to do so. Featured projects come first in each section,followed by full-page aerials of selected other projects. Last in each section is "At a Glance,"a sampling of pictures from various projects in that area. All data are as of August 1, 2011.All photos are no later than January 2012.
