Lakeview





The north side of New Orleans, built on some of the lowest land in the area, is drained by a series of canals that connect to Lake Pontchartrain via some big pumps. Katrina overwhelmed these canals and much of the north side flooding was due to failures of levees and flood walls along the 17th Street and London Street Canals.
