Association of Levee Boards of Louisiana
With roots in the past and eyes on the future, the Association of Levee Boards of Louisiana is charged with containing and managing the floodwaters along the major waterways of Louisiana.

More than half of our precious land is in a flood plain, and 41 percent of the continental U.S. drains into the Mississippi River Basin. This creates a unique situation in our state, where flooding is a part of the history we share, and a part of the future we are working hard to control.
