I believe the answer is:

levee

(Other definitions for levee that I've seen before include "Artificial embankment" , "Embankment holding water back" , "An embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing" , "Embankment on the Mississippi" , "Riverside embankment" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
