The Mississipi has literally several 1000km's of levees etc...that for the greater part, work. Even Grafton saved themselves alot of grief by doing the same.
Last time I was in Brisbane...can't say I noticed any levees or similar structures.
Do you not think it rather odd, that for a river that regularly floods in no small manner (with zippo flood control from the Bremer) ...that more has not been done in the last 100 or so years?
Yet we have the CBD of Australia's 3rd major capitol under water.....massive loss of property, and sadly loss of life....again.
Not rocket science IMHO.
