An embankment is a raised structure, often made of earth or other materials, designed to hold back water or support a roadway or railway. It is typically built to prevent flooding, manage water flow, or provide a stable foundation for transportation infrastructure. Embankments can also serve to create levees along rivers or coastal areas, protecting communities from storm surges and high water levels. Their construction is crucial for land management and safety in vulnerable areas.
