A wall or fence of Earth or stone built to prevent a river from flooding an area is known as an embankment.
- An embankment is an artificial boundary or a structure built to very high heights for preventing a flooded river from entering the land.
- Such structures are made of compact soil which means soils rich in clay or consisting of large amounts of ro-cks.
- This structure will allow water to flow at high heights with great speed without letting it overflow.
- Embankments need to have long-term stability and should be beneficial in providing good support. To achieve this purpose, they have to be built of materials that are waterproof, non-porous, and non-aerated.
