    This course will introduce you to methods for controlling seepage and settlement in the construction of levees, and to generally acceptable guidelines for levee slopes. Without control, underseepage in pervious foundations beneath levees may result in (a) excessive hydrostatic pressures beneath an impervious top stratum on the landside, (b) sand boils, and (c) piping beneath the levee itself. Underseepage problems are most acute where a pervious substratum underlies a levee and extends both
