After Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005, floodwaters remained in parts of New Orleans for weeks. The most severely affected areas were submerged for about 2 to 4 weeks before the water was fully drained. Efforts to pump out the floodwaters began immediately, but the extensive damage to the levee system complicated these efforts. By mid-September 2005, most of the water had been removed, although some neighborhoods remained affected for longer.

Why do sandbags help to keep flood waters away?

When sandbags are piled up in long lengths, they fit together so tightly that flood water on the other side cannot run through. Water does soak through, but the amount is relatively small. You could say that sandbags are placed to form a dam against the flood waters.
