Levees are natural or artificial embankments built alongside rivers to prevent flooding. They form as sediment builds up over time from sedimentation during flooding events or can be constructed from earth materials by human intervention.

They serve not only to safeguard land but also to support diverse ecosystems, with vegetation growing along their banks and wildlife finding refuge in the areas they protect.
