levee

A CSIRO report commissioned by the Morrison government found that building 10 new dams in NSW's northern rivers could have reduced 2022 flood levels by up to two metres, though not enough to prevent a key levee overflow. Governments have not committed to implementing the modelled measures, despite the floods being described as a one-in-100-years event that killed 13 people.

The Chaska Police Department and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources rescued a baby deer that was stuck in a levee. The incident was captured on camera.
