I'm in the excavation business, and it looks to me like the levees would need to be restored for pumping to do any good. Don't know of any pumps faster than that lake, or the sea. Just MHO.

spot on. The scope of this is such that doing anything to fix anything is gonna take a long time. *sigh*

Yes. The water flow will slow and stop, marine construction companies will move into place and erect cofferdams, then pump dry the work site, then rebuild the levees.

Barring a miracle, NO will not be pumped dry until the levees are repaired.
