This category is for the flood protection structures. Difference between dikes and levees:

Dikes protect land that would normally be under water from flooding.
Dikes are most often associated with the sea and areas of land below sea level.
Levees protect land that would normally be dry from flooding.
Levees are most often associated with rivers.
