Stage construction can also be used where foundation material is not adequate to support the entire weight of the embankment, if it were built continuously at a pace faster than the foundation material could drain. In stage construction, the embankment is built in stages or intervals of time. It is built to intermediate grades and allow to rest before placing more fill, permitting dissipation of pore water pressures. This allows the foundation to gain strength so that higher embankment loading may be supported. The stage construction process works well for clay deposits that are interspersed with highly pervious silt or sand seams, provided that these seams have exits for the escaping water. Estimates of the time required for the needed strength gain can be made from the results of consolidation tests and study of boring data, with piezometers installed to monitor the rate of pore water dissipation. The main disadvantages of this method include delays in the construction process and uncertainty in scheduling and efficiency. Levees (Receptions)". Digital Encyclopedia. Mount Vernon, Virginia: Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, George Washington's Mount Vernon . Retrieved August 31, 2017. People have been building and reinforcing levees since the beginning of civilization. As early as 2500 B.C.E., the Indus Valley Civilization, with urban centers in what is today Mohenjo Daro and Harappa, Pakistan, used levees to protect land near the Indus River. Farmers were able to grow crops like cotton and rice. United States of Shame," by Maureen Dowd, The New York Times, September 3, 2005 [accessed August 12, 2016]The levee (from the French word lever, meaning "getting up" or "rising") [1] was traditionally a daily moment of intimacy and accessibility to a monarch or leader, as he got up in the morning. It started out as a royal custom, but in British America it came to refer to a reception by the sovereign's representative, which continues to be a tradition in Canada with the New Year's levee; in the United States a similar gathering was held by several presidents. Darrel G.F. Long, Grant W. Lowey 2011 , 'Wandering gravel-bed rivers and high-constructive stable channel sandy fluvial By the second half of the sixteenth century, it had become a formal event, requiring invitation. [3] In 1563 Catherine de' Medici wrote in advice to her son, the King of France, to do as his father ( Henry II) had done and uphold the practice of lever. Catherine describes that Henry II allowed his subjects, from nobles to household servants, to come in while he dressed. She states this pleased his subjects and improved their opinion of him. [4]

The successors of Louis XIV were not as passionate about the monarch's daily routine and, over time, the frequency of the lever and coucher decreased, much to the dismay of their courtiers.

On a graph, the gradient is defined as being the change in the 'y' value divided by the change in the 'x' value. It defines how steep a line is.. Prominent levee systems have been built along the Mississippi River and Sacramento River in the United States, and the Po, Rhine, Meuse River, Rhône, Loire, Vistula, the delta formed by the Rhine, Maas/Meuse and Scheldt in the Netherlands and the Danube in Europe. During the Chinese Warring States period, the Dujiangyan irrigation system was built by the Qin as a water conservation and flood control project. The system's infrastructure is located on the Minjiang ( Chinese: 岷江; pinyin: Mínjiāng), which is the longest tributary of the Chang Jiang, in Sichuan, China. Safety compromised by bureaucracy: No central agency was in charge of maintaining the levees. This task instead fell to several different private firms and government agencies, leading to communication problems and the breakdown of various upgrade projects.

Here are some examples.Speakers of American English use the word levee, from the French word levée (from the feminine past participle of the French verb lever, 'to raise'). It originated in New Orleans a few years after the city's founding in 1718 and was later adopted by English speakers. [8] The name derives from the trait of the levee's ridges being raised higher than both the channel and the surrounding floodplains. Dolfman, Michael L., Soldielle Fortier Wasser and Bruce Bergman.

The chambre du roi marked the centre of the château de Versailles. Artificial levees can lead to an elevation of the natural riverbed over time; whether this happens or not and how fast, depends on different factors, one of them being the amount and type of the bed load of a river. Alluvial rivers with intense accumulations of sediment tend to this behavior. Examples of rivers where artificial levees led to an elevation of the riverbed, even up to a point where the riverbed is higher than the adjacent ground surface behind the levees, are found for the Yellow River in China and the Mississippi in the United States.
