This past May, H.J. Bosworth Jr. and I were part of US Senator Mary Landrieu's Second Congressional Delegation (CoDel) excursion to the Netherlands.
Unlike the first CoDel which studied peripheral barriers (floodgates), the goal of this CoDel in May was to see how the Dutch live with, and manage water in urban settings.
Levees.org has created a video documentary using footage captured by an Amsterdam-based filmmaker who we commissioned.
Please click here to watch the video.

Best if viewed by 3pm EST Tuesday Sept 1.
If enough people view the video, it could rise to the top of the YouTube charts where it could potentially be viewed by millions.
Want to do more? You could:
1. Register at YouTube to rate and comment on the video.
2. View and rate our other videos on YouTube.
Remember, it's best if you watch the video by 3pm Tuesday Sept 1.
Other news:
The White House, in response to criticism, has elected to remove the Army Corps of Engineers from future coastal restoration in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Levees.org
We are winning!
