Levees are earthen structures with impenetrable clay-like cores that are built between the land and a body of water. They are specially designed to allow rivers to rise, while preventing water from flowing onto the land side of the levee. During a high water event, they are designed to collect storm water at their base on the land side and pump it to the water side.
