{"product_id":"9781614705116","title":"National Levee Safety \u0026 Locally Operated Levees","description":"This book examines national levee safety with a focus on recommendations and strategic plan implementations of the National Committee on Levee Safety. It is a critical juncture in our nations' history with a burgeoning growth of risk to people and infrastructure as a result of more than 100 years of inattention to levee infrastructure combined with an economy and social fabric that are in a particularly vulnerable state. The current levee safety reality for the United States is stark and uncertain in location, performance and condition of levees and a lack of oversight, technical standards, and effective communication of risks. A look to the future offers two distinct possibilities: one where we continue the status quo and await the certainty of more catastrophes or one where we take reasonable actions and investments in a National Levee Safety Program that turns the tide on risk growth.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65428092322141,"sku":null,"price":101.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781614705116.jpg?v=1789204376","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781614705116","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
