meaning

When building a dyke, the dimensions of the dyke body, i.e. its base, height, cap width, berms , inland and outer rhynes (ditches along the dyke) are determined depending on the location and the water and wind conditions. The height of the dyke is determined according to the highest expected flood level plus a safety reserve. If the dyke loses the dyke height that has been set, it is called a lower stick . In this case the dyke section concerned must be brought back to the appropriate height.

The maintenance status of the dykes is regularly determined and documented through annual dike inspections .
