In this April 9, 2007 file photo, tourists visit the World War II memorial and the Lincoln Monument, background, on the National Mall in Washington. To the left and right of the reflecting pool are levees meant to hold back water in case of flooding. Built on swamp land with almost no natural barriers against high water, the District of Columbia is under the constant threat of flooding. Making matters worse is an out-of-date sewer system that needs to be expanded to handle more water and a levee system that engineers have said is inadequate.
