So long as a levee holds and is not overtopped, water cannot cross from one side to the other.
From what I infer from conversations between myself and some engineers in the local area, a dam and a levee both holds water to a confined space but, a dam is man-made while a levee is made of natural stuff. However, that is the extent of what i know in that.
A levee is an embankment along a stream that protects land from flooding. Levees can be natural or constructed. A dike is much the same, a protective wall, often to hold back the sea.
It keeps rising water inside stream channels.
it was formed millions of years ago
It is a ridges of sediment that accumulate along the margins of river channels on floodplains.
A levee is an embankment that helps protect the land from a floodplain. A levee is formed when floodwater deposits material on the banks of a river, which builds up over time. The embankment slowly erodes away which is making rivers and streams wider and it can sometimes create a v-shaped valley.

Yes, levee is a word. A levee is an embankment against river floods. Hope I helped! :)
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.
A levee holds back water.
