Best Answer

A man-made levee is made by making the slope with soil we buy. A natural levee is formed when a river floods over its banks, the water spreads out, slows down, and deposits its load of sediment. Over time, the river's banks are built up above the level of the rest of the floodplain. he resulting ridges are called natural levees.
