This video explores the dramatic and devastating moments when levees break, using powerful visual footage from major flood events such as Hurricane Katrina. Viewers are taken into the heart of these disasters to understand the engineering principles behind levee systems, the forces that test their limits, and the catastrophic chain reactions that unfold when those limits are exceeded. With a focus on real-world examples and the human stories intertwined with structural failure, this documentary-style presentation reveals the hidden complexity and fragile balance behind one of society’s most critical flood defenses.As communities around the world face rising sea levels and increasingly unpredictable storms, the importance of levee design and maintenance has never been more urgent. The video also investigates what happens in the aftermath of a levee failure—both structurally and socially—and how engineers, urban planners, and policy makers are reimagining flood control for a more resilient future. Through these narratives, we begin to see not just the science of prevention, but the human cost of failure and the resilience needed to rebuild stronger than before.#floodengineering #leveebreak #disasterresilience #hurricanekatrina #civilengineering #urbanplanning #infrastructurefailure #climatechallenges #watermanagement #floodcontrol
