But you still need the pumps to pump out the rainwater. And the pumps fail whenever there is a massive storm.
Also, what's the point of building a levee to protect inferior real estate locations, when there are plenty of places in the country that are above sea level? This isn't the Netherlands. We live in the US. There's lots of land. Let's live on land that doesn't flood when it rains.
