A levee breach or levee failure (the word dike or dyke can also be used instead of levee) is a situation where a levee fails or is intentionally breached, causing the previously contained water to flood the land behind the levee.
A breach is when the levee breaks, and was unable to hold the water it was built for...not when it overflows....a common misconception....
