but the US ACOE doesn't have a great track record for making issues like this better
Neither does anyone else.
When I survey the landscape for organizations with the experience and equipment to solve water problems in the US, ACOE is right at the top of the list. What organizations do you feel are better suited to these tasks up and down the Mississippi? Of out west in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico? Or down in Georgia-Florida? And so on.
These are all diverse and complex engineering challenges that impact wide geographic areas. Failure is to be expected. It's one of the maintenance conditions on infrastructure.

I remember hearing about how screwed New Orleans was going to be in a meteorology class, eventually. It didn’t take too long. We all knew for decades in the earth sciences.
