| Embankment | Also known as a levee or dyke. An artificially raised, earthen ridge used in the fluvial, tidal and coastal environments for flood defence, erosion protection, or channel containment. Includes embankments with other primary purposes, such as transport embankments, if they also provide a flood defence and erosion protection function. Also covers embankment dams. Natural ridges of high ground should be classified as natural high ground. Embankments should be defined as separate assets where the elements in an embankment profile change significantly in type, form, material or geometry. | DE | En_32_85_45 | Line |
