Levees / Flood Control: D

Levees: A Looming Catastrophe

Central Valley river system is dependent on a system of fragile earthen levees• Built from dredged river materials by farmers • No engineering designs or oversight

These levees protect:• Water supply for 23 million people• 500,000+ homes and businesses• 3,000,000+ acres of farmland• Critical transportation and utility corridors

Fixing our aging infrastructure

may not be sexy,

but NOT fixing it puts

millions of people at risk

and hurts the economy
