Pumping Station #1
New Orleans, Louisiana

Pumping stations built around New Orleans keep the sea at bay. Due to rising water and compressing soil, portions of the city are six feet below sea level and sinking. An elaborate system of dykes and pumps, built with the supervision of Dutch engineers, keep it from becoming America's Venice.

This fence runs along the USA / Mexico Border. It was constructed from surplus runway mat sections left over from the Vietnam War. In 1993, by US government order, the Army Corps of Engineers extended the wall beyond the beach, well into the Pacific Ocean, ensuring that only the best swimmers can cross here.
