Theoretically it is possible however to my understanding the Japanese project is having issues. It sometimes seems that in the long run the best strategy is, as the old Parkay commercials use to say I believe, Don't fool with Mother-Nature"! I need my hydraulic jack otherwise I would pitch it in too!
I could donate 3 of my hydraulic jacks...anyone else? Well that is a very noble thought for a noble cause from a noble man, my friend...keep on thinkin';okay sweetie? ♥Nassy
Early in the french colonization, it flooded. So they built a levee and continued living there, unaware that they had just created a sinking mud field because it was drying out and no longer got sediment from the river.
No matter what you do with N.O., it will continue to sink. It's the type of soil it's on, and being deprived of additional sediment from the river, it has no way to build itself back up.
If it floods, it will get replenished by the river. But nobody wants that.
