(8029) Summer dikes, River side bunds, or Submersible dikes
Low embankment along a river or coastal water aiming at flood protection against low and frequent (flood) water levels and/or at flood protection during the early stages of a flood (resulting in delayed flooding). These are constructed in the flood bed, offering protection against more frequent minor floods to cultivated lands in the flood bed. It is recognised that the higher flood waves are less frequent and will overtop the summer dikes, inundating however the flood bed at longer intervals and/or a later date for the flood season.
