DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeochem.2019.104367
Abstract: Abstract Seepage beneath artificial levees is a common concern during flooding events. Risk of levee failure is elevated when piping erodes channels beneath the levee, evidenced by the formation of sand boils where transported sediments… read more here.
