Advantages
Safer from flooding, the channel now has an increased carrying capacity so it is less likely to burst
Earthen embankments provide habitats for riverbed animals e.g kingfishers, voles and otters
Disadvantages
They deprive people of river access for fishing and boating
They have a higher maintainance cost as they are prone to erosion
If breached, water will stay on the embankments, destroying the animal habitats
