Science shows us an error was made within the levee’s construction between 1963- 1968 in Orick, California. Factors including area history, chosen aesthetics, social dynamics and spiritual myths cause immense complexities that make correction of the project’s equation difficult. What is the levee’s cultural significance? Why have agencies been forced to manage a design flaw for over 48 years? Wisdom gained from applied anthropology (utilizing wikimedia) provides a platform to disclose the history and management of the levee. By clarifying the understanding of the levee and all of its facets, efforts will move forward in restoring the natural resilience of this waterway.
