Water continues to recede, Corps officials say
Water continued to recede from New Orleans into Lake Pontchartrain Saturday morning, Major Gen. Don Riley of the Army Corps of Engineers told CNN. “Water is flowing out of the city into the lake...The lake levels are about a foot below what’s in the city,” he said.
The Corps of Engineers continues to bring in generators to operate the city’s drainage pumps, Riley said. We’re also tapping into the natural gas lines in the city...to run some of the pumps."You mean it might NOT take TEN YEARS to dry it out?
