NOW . Science & Health. Losing Ground - New Orleans and the Delta Overview | PBS

'Losing Ground,' uncovered how one of the biggest civil engineering projects in U.S. history — the leveeing of the Mississippi River — had brought Louisiana and the nation to the brink of what could be the most costly environmental disaster in history. In 'The City in a Bowl,' NOW examined another ominous effect of this crisis — the risk that a massive hurricane could drown New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina has now made these predictions a reality."
