A dike is a structural barrier typically made of earth, rock, or concrete, designed to control or prevent the flow of water, often in areas prone to flooding. Dikes are characterized by their height, which must be sufficient to withstand water pressure, and their slope, which is designed for stability. They are often constructed parallel to a body of water and can also serve as flood protection, land reclamation, or irrigation systems. Additionally, dikes may include features like spillways or sluices to manage water levels effectively.
