A natural levee is a depositional feature parallel to the stream channel

Explanation;

-A levee is a natural or artificial wall that blocks water from going where we don’t want it to go. It may be used to increase available land for habitation or divert a body of water so the fertile soil of a river or sea bed may be used for agriculture. It also prevents rivers from flooding cities in a storm surge.

-The natural movement of a body of water pushes sediment to the side, creating a natural levee. The banks of a river are often slightly elevated from the river bed. The banks form levees made of sediment, silt, and other materials pushed aside by the flowing water.
