Levees vary widely in size, typically ranging from a few feet to over 30 feet in height, depending on the specific flood risk and geographical location. Their widths can also differ, generally spanning from 10 to 100 feet at the base. The dimensions are designed to manage water levels and protect against flooding, with larger levees often found in areas prone to significant flood events. Maintenance and design considerations also play a crucial role in determining their size.
