Schön, das es auch mal positive Beispiele bei #NotBuiltForThis gibt, aber Heiliger Bimbam.

Deadly #Floods Due to #Levee Failures Reflect Need for #Infrastructure Investment
Levees were never designed to handle extreme weather that is now more common due to climate change.
By Farshid Vahedifard, December 29, 2025
"In recent weeks, powerful #AtmosphericRiver storms have swept across #Washington, #Oregon and #California, unloading enormous amounts of rain. As rivers surged, they overtopped or breached multiple levees – those long, often unnoticed barriers holding #floodwaters back from homes and towns.
"Most of the time, levees don’t demand attention. They quietly do their job, year after year. But when storms intensify, levees suddenly matter in a very personal way. They can determine whether a neighborhood stays dry or ends up underwater.
"The damage in the West reflects a nationwide problem that has been building for decades. Across the U.S., levees are getting older while weather is getting more extreme. Many of these structures were never designed for the enormous responsibility they now carry.
"As a civil engineer at Tufts University, I study water infrastructure, including the vulnerability of levees and strategies for making them more resilient. My research also shows that when levees fail, the consequences don’t fall evenly on the population."

How to help WA flood victims (with links to Relief organizations)
A week of heavy flooding has devastated communities across Western Washington, destroying homes and forcing evacuations. And it’s not over yet: The National Weather Service on Saturday forecast more rainfall and wind in the coming days, as well as risk of additional flooding and landslides this week.

Fluvial System Block Diagrams

I was looking to understand a fluvial system the other day, up in the high Arctic, as I looked at 3DEP remote sensed elevation data… I have always been fascinated by the how geology, water, weather shapes a landscape, including erosion (aka geomorphology if you will) – and realized how very much value fluvial block diagrams have as we try to conceptualise what has, is and will happen(ed.)

"They could obey the corps and rebuild the levees to a lower height, which would put them at far greater risk of flooding, and, Curole felt, would be tantamount to abandoning the area’s centuries of history to the sea. Or they could go rogue." —Katie Thornton for The Guardian

Nous avons bien réfléchi et nous conseillons à Sud de jouer le 1 car en gardant son 10, il permettra à son équipe de remporter la #levée suivante (c'est le nouveau mot que l'on a appris cette semaine !).

New evacuation orders were in place Sunday near two small central #California towns where a #levee was breached following recent downpours, as yet another winter storm brought the threat of major #flooding.
The agricultural communities of #Alpaugh and #Allensworth, home to a total of about 1,400 people, were ordered to leave because of "the possibility of residents becoming isolated due to impassible roadways," the Tulare County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

@DrEvanGowan @Anthro
The #hydraulic scour explanation is interesting, possibly interacting with preexisting glacial features like a kettle. The strand here is, I think, natural, so it’s not induced by a constructed #levee in this case. Thanks for the interesting reply. -

As more cities face existential floods, they'll have to hustle to build defenses before waters rush in.
But the mere threat of future flooding can destroy them financially before they ever get the chance to build infrastructure.

CW: California politics
Seeing that there are multiple imminent levee failures far to the north of us makes me wonder what happened to all the money provided for by Prop 1E, which was supposed to be addressing outdated flood control systems.
