What is a levee?
A levee is an embankment that helps protect the land from a floodplain. A levee is formed when floodwater deposits material on the banks of a river, which builds up over time. The embankment slowly erodes away which is making rivers and streams wider and it can sometimes create a v-shaped valley.
How long does it take for a levee to form?
The formation of a levee can take many years to centuries, depending on various factors such as sediment supply, water flow, and environmental conditions. Levees typically develop over time as river sediment is deposited during flood events, gradually building up the banks. Frequent flooding and sediment accumulation contribute to the levee's height and stability. Overall, the process is gradual and influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors.

How does the formation of a natural levee related to backswamps and yazoo tributaries?
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.
