An embankment is a raised area of earth or material, often built along roads, railways, or rivers, to support or protect against damage. It is typically made by piling up soil, gravel, or stone to create a slope or barrier. Embankments help prevent flooding, maintain the stability of roads or rail tracks, and control the flow of water in rivers or canals. They can be found in many places, such as along highways to prevent landslides or beside rivers to stop water from overflowing. Embankments are important for managing land and water safely.
