A levee or embankment are two names of flood defences used to keep flood water in the river channel.
Levee
An embankment could mean a raised bank along a river as part of flood defences.
Levee
A levee is a buildup of sediment deposited along the channel of a river that keeps the river inside its banks. It acts as a natural barrier that prevents the river from overflowing and causing flooding in surrounding areas.
An embankment built along the side of a river to control flooding can be called several things. Probably levee is the most common, but it can be dike or floodbank. It can also be called what you called it, an embankment.
Embankment
a leeve
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.
