1 June, 2006. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. Water builds up amidst piles of wreckage in the devastated Lower 9th Ward in the area where a huge barge smashed through the original flood wall, causing a tidal wave of water to rush through, devastating the area where so many people died. With water mains switched back on, ruptured infrastructure permits water to seep to the surface, forming stagnant pools where mosquitos breed unchecked.
