Read the passage.


When Jean-Baptist Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville founded “Nouvelle-Orleans”, or New Orleans, he did not realize that the area flooded from time to time. Ever since, people living in New Orleans have had to find ways of dealing with nature.
New Orleans is located at the entrance of the Mississippi River, making it a great place for trade. People were willing to tolerate certain conditions, such as strong river tides and flooding, in order to do business. Some settlers tried to create drains, but the drains never worked very well because of New Orleans’ geography. Other settlers built levees to keep water out of the city. None of these attempts stopped the city from flooding, but they helped make the flooding less destructive.
