Description:

The National Levee Database (NLD) is the authoritative resource for information about levees in the United States. It is a modern, web-based information system that connects levee-related information and activities, including flood risk communication, levee system evaluation for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), levee inspections, flood plain management, and risk assessment. The NLD is intended to be a primary information resource for federal, state and local governments, agencies, and organizations, as well as the general public.
