(8030) Submersible embankments (levee, dyke, dike)
Embankments along rivers that have been designed in such a way that their overtopping does not produce significant damage. Submersible embankments are constructed in the Southeastern Asian monsoon zones to check early monsoon floods so that one more crop can be grown and the negative side-effects of full flood protection can be avoided.
