levee district

Read a random definition: national-security privilege

A quick definition of levee district:

A levee district is a special area where people work together to build and maintain levees, which are walls that keep water from flooding their homes and businesses. It's like a club where everyone helps each other to stay safe from floods.

A more thorough explanation:

A levee district is a local or regional political subdivision that is organized to construct and maintain levees within its territory at public expense. Levees are embankments built to prevent flooding from rivers or other bodies of water.

For example, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Levee District in California is responsible for maintaining over 1,100 miles of levees that protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region from flooding. Another example is the Mississippi River Levee District, which is responsible for maintaining levees along the Mississippi River to prevent flooding in the surrounding areas.

These examples illustrate how levee districts are created to protect communities from the devastating effects of flooding. By constructing and maintaining levees, these districts help to prevent property damage, loss of life, and economic disruption caused by floods.

to assess their value to each school

Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
