In keeping with our mission of education, we have released the Levee Challenge.

The 10-question little quiz is designed to help folks understand why the New Orleans area flooded a decade ago.

It’s intended to answer any lingering questions and separate facts from fairy tales.

The role of the Army Corps of Engineers, the organization that often has hidden behind the talk of Hurricane Katrina’s water and wind, is flushed out.

The majority of the questions and answers were peer reviewed by four independent academic reviewers with Water Policy, the official journal of the World Water Council.

Everyone deserves to know the facts about the worst civil engineering disaster in U.S. history. The Levee Challenge is an easy step in that direction.
