The Army Corps of Engineers used $4 billion of its $14 billion budget to fix the levees of New Orleans breached in August 2005, but recent assessments by outside experts determined that the system will most probably fail after a storm surge of similar strength. In order to strengthen them, the budget may have to be increased.
The Army Corps acknowledges weakspots, but contends that they're doing their job and major leaps have been taken to improve the levee system. They are experiencing problems where the levees are sinking under its own weight.
