The Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee District has a long history of erecting, maintaining, and operating a system of levees to protect the people and property of the Delta from the damages caused by the elevated waters of the Mississippi River as well as interior rivers and streams. The District also continues to furnish local cooperation required for certain flood control and drainage projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Over the years, YMDL District continues to update its tactics for dealing with the region’s flooding issues, providing safety and peace of mind for the citizens in the ten-county district.
