The embankments are called levees. When the levees around New Orleans failed during and after Hurricane Katrina it led to catastrophic flooding. Note that money had been allocated for work on the levees prior to that but it was decided to use it to improve the roads on top of the levees which, technically, was an "improvement" but one wonders how it would have all played out if it had instead been used to improve the strength of those those levees prior to Katrina.
