A natural levee is formed when a river floods over the bank and deposits sediment and this causes the banks to be higher than the flood plain. A manmade levee is formed by piling dirt and rocks, wider at the base and tapering to the top.

some levees broke because of scouring behind the levee wall from the waves overtopping and the hydrolic pressure added to the effect.

The area behind the levee is characteristically poorly drained for the obvious reason that water can not flow up the levee and into the river. Marshes called backswamps result. A tributary stream can not enter the river because levees block the way. Often it has to flow parallel to the river until it can breach the levee, These are called yazoo tributaries.

A levee works by redirecting water and flooding away from a certain area. The levee is similar to a wall placed in the path of the water. There does need to be another place for the flood waters to go, if too much pressure is built up then levees can fail.
