... a dyke ring. The flood-prone part of the Netherlands consists of 53 dyke rings (and a number of embankments along the Meuse). The dykes for which the legal standards hold are called primary dykes. These standards do not hold for smaller (secondary) dykes, which generally border smaller water bodies...

...I. Butera; M. G. Tanda The design conditions of a river embankment are usually computed in a steady state, in a similar way to those due to the maximum river level of an assigned return period. The seepage analysis of the water pressure that stresses the embankment, with an increase in the risk...

...M. Dyer, DPhil, CEng, MICE There are some 35 000 km of estuarine and river flood defence embankments in England and Wales with an annual budget of approximately £450 million spent on maintenance and new construction. The effective performance of these embankments during extreme flood events...
