Video simulations and historical reconstructions

If you watch one video from this site, this is the one to see. "Researchers and students have worked together to create a time-lapse animation of 3D models constructed from 2D historic maps." It traces the history of the site, shows what changes have led to the current dangerous situation, and presents a good overview of a sensible approach to correcting it.

This earlier video also provides a brief outline of history and the plan, including some photos of the 2006 flood.
