Here the schoolboy who was thrown over the embankment at his new school has just finished an extensive description of his injuries. For the high embankment model, less land is optimal for fisheries as compared with the base model. The terms embankments and levees are used interchangeably here. First, we have not made any attempt to measure the reduction in flood damages brought about by structural changes in the floodplain, such as embankments. Anthropogenically modified habitats, especially raised embankments on the floodplain, were often used. The embankment buildings are designed with grass roofs. The embankment was thereafter increased a further 3 feet in height. In normal flood years, the primary functions of embankments are to reduce flooding and delay the start of the flood, which greatly benefits agricultural production. This connection cuts through the west embankment of the former mining railway cutting. For the low and medium embankment models, the cropping intensities are almost identical to the base model. We study four management options: a natural (unmodified) floodplain and three types of structural changes in the form of low, medium, and high embankments. For the models with low and medium embankments, the cropping patterns are identical to the base model. This reflects the partial inaccessibility of the floodplains inside the embankment by migratory fish species. The optimal fishing patterns for the low and medium embankment models are also close to the base model (note that is equal to one here). These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
