Artificial levees is one traditional flood control method has been to attempt to keep the stream's flow within its channel. A drainage basin is the land area that contributes water to a stream.Ê
A traditional flood control method used to keep a stream's flow in its channel is the construction of artificial levees. These raised embankments are built alongside rivers or streams to prevent overflow during heavy rainfall or flooding. By confining the water within the levees, they help direct the flow and protect surrounding areas from flood damage. Other methods, such as dams, can also regulate water flow, but levees specifically aim to contain riverbanks.

Gradient
The path that a stream follows is a channel.
The steepness of a stream channel is typically measured by its gradient, which is the rate at which the elevation of the channel changes over a certain horizontal distance. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water will flow and the more erosive power the stream will have.
The vertical drop of a stream channel over distance is known as the Gradient.
