A levee in New Orleans is leaking water. Experts coming in to take a look. Looking At Leaking Levee

The Army Corps of Engineers says outside
experts will take a look at work done at a canal where one of the
New Orleans area's worst levee breaks occurred during Hurricane
Katrina.
Despite 22 million dollars in repairs, water is seeping through
the mushy ground.
Some experts say the type of seepage spotted at the 17th Street
Canal in the Lakeview neighborhood afflicts other New Orleans'
levees. They add that some of them could collapse if water in the
canals gets within a foot of Katrina's seven-foot levels.
While the corps has defended its work, it's been digging a
trench to find the precise source of wet spots inside the levees.
Exactly who will conduct the review has yet to be determined.
