Okay, in the song American Pie by Don McLean, he says, "drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry." I used to live in a town on the banks of the Mississippi, and there was a levee that ran up and down that river by that town. You could drive your Chevy (or Ford or Dodge or whatever) to that levee and drive all up and down the top of it, and it was dry, because the whole purpose of that levee was to keep the Mississippi from exceeding its banks and flooding the town.
So..... why wouldn't the levee be dry, and why isn't that a good thing? :)
