My retired, 4th-grade-teacher wife instructs me that during the Calif. gold rush, the seaport of Sacramento was built next to the river of the same name. Some time later the river overflowed its banks, and to prevent a reoccurrence, the residents and merchants brought in massive amounts of dirt, raised the level of the entire city and built anew on top of the old structures. Don't know if that's a practical solution for New Orleans but maybe food for thought.
