The correct answer is:

an earth wall designed to control water levels.

A levee is a type of infrastructure built to control and manage water levels. Usually made of compacted soil, rocks, and sometimes reinforced with concrete or steel, levees act as barriers to prevent flooding by containing the flow of water in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. These structures are commonly used in areas prone to hurricanes and other natural disasters to protect communities and infrastructure from the destructive force of floodwaters.
