Status: Proposal - See Proposed features/Dyke
An embankment built to restrict the flow of water or other liquids. Also known as a levee.
This could apply to a point line or area, depending on the level of detail used.
This is different than a man_made=breakwater as a dyke is an embankment on land, to prevent flooding, whereas a breakwater is a structure surrounded by water (ocean or river) to stop the waves.
This is different than a waterway=dam because a dam creates a reservoir, designed to store up water for drinking/hydro, whilst a dyke is built as a flood defence.
