Some consequences of Valley Park's levee solution may include:
- Alteration of the natural flow of the river, which can result in increased flooding downstream
- Disruption of the ecosystems and habitats that rely on regular flooding and erosion for their survival
- Potential displacement of surrounding communities and infrastructure due to increased flood risk in other areas
- Creation of a false sense of security for residents living behind the levee, potentially leading to inadequate emergency preparedness and response measures
- Increased maintenance costs for the levee system over time, as well as potential risks of levee failure and breaches in the future.
