The 20 pages that link to Levee, each with the reason it gives.

• Mississippi RiverRelated: Levees confine the Mississippi in many reaches, reducing some floods while altering floodplain connections.

• Yellow RiverRelated: Levees confined the lower river but could worsen the consequences of a breach.

• Storm surgeRelated: Surge can overtop or breach levees, turning protection into a point of failure.

• Flood controlRelated: Levees reduce inundation by raising barriers along rivers and coasts.

• North China PlainRelated: Natural and artificial levees constrain flow while sometimes raising flood danger.

• RiverRelated: Levees contain high flows locally but can increase flood risk elsewhere.

• River engineeringRelated: Levees keep floods within a designed corridor, but can shift risk downstream.

• Urban floodingRelated: Levees can protect urban districts but may fail or shift flood risk elsewhere.

• Yangtze River floodsRelated: Levees protect populated areas but can raise consequences if they fail or are overtopped.

• DikeRelated: Levees are closely related flood barriers, especially along rivers.

• Mississippi River BasinRelated: Levees protect settled and farmed land along basin rivers.

• Yellow River floodsRelated: Embankments confined the river but also trapped sediment and increased the risk of catastrophic breaches.

• Yellow River course changesRelated: Raised banks confined the river but could also trap sediment and increase breach risk.

• Flood control in ChinaRelated: They confine floodwaters along the Yangtze and other rivers, while raising risks if they fail.

• DistributaryRelated: Natural levees can confine flow and influence where distributaries branch.
