The formation of dikes is closely related to rivers and currents. Under the action of long-term river erosion and water scouring, sediment gradually accumulates along the river and forms a ridge. Because of the gentle slope and slow water flow, sediments can accumulate on the ridge. This natural process takes a long time and appropriate conditions, so the embankment is often a place with a long history, cultural value and natural landscape.
Dike is one of the important natural landscapes in China River Basin, and it is also an important carrier and symbol of ancient civilization in China. In different areas, the characteristics of dikes are different. Some embankments are surrounded by mountains, forming a unique ecosystem, while others gradually rise in economic development, such as Kunlun and Huaxia, and become important local agricultural bases and tourist attractions. In a word, dikes are an important part of natural resources, human landscape and economic development, and should be properly protected and managed.
