Geotubes

• Multi-purpose construction product used in NORA
• Composed of high tensile strength polypropylene
  that allows water out but not in
• Filled with dredged silt from the MS River
• Used in the construction of levees, rebuilding
  the wetlands, and a man-made island

4
Levees

• Constructed of geotubes and smart concrete,
  constantly monitored concrete that sends a
  warning of a possible levee failure based on
  electrical resistance
• Concrete also contains titanium dioxide, which
  when combined with sunlight, cleans the air
• Two tunnels located inside one for
  magnetically levitated subway, the other is for
  transporting river sediment which will be used to
  rebuild the wetlands

Flood Control cont.

• Sediment submarines collect sediment from the MS
  River which is then transported through the
  levees to the site where wetlands are to be
  rebuilt
• Floodgates are located on the mouths of all
  canals and Gulf of Mexico Rigolets

LEsprit

• Man-made island built by using geotubes in Lake
  Ponchartrain that is shaped like a Fleur de Lis
• Houses a thriving international airport

Infrastructure

• Hydroelectric power created by using low-head
  turbines located in MS River
• Transportation consists of maglev trains and
  hydrogen powered hover cars
• Citizens communicate on a molecular level
  transferring brainwaves through Quantum
  Nanotechnology
