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.
People typically use a combination of materials to build artificial levees, including earth, clay, sand, and gravel. These materials are chosen for their ability to effectively block and redirect water flow. In some cases, levees may also incorporate geotextiles or other engineered materials to enhance stability and reduce erosion. The design and construction methods vary based on the specific environmental conditions and the intended purpose of the levee.
