People say that the levees were actually able to withstand the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina. What happened was that the levees were replaced in some areas of the city with a wall approximately 2 feet thick that fell during there hurricane. These walls were built in order to widen the canal, but they could not withstand Katrina’s storm surge. Therefore, it was the replacement walls that broke, NOT the levees.Now a day the U.S wants to rebuilt the new walls while some walls are being created to inforce the current levees, other new leeves are being created to withstand future hurricane.
