A flood wall (or floodwall) is a primarily vertical artificial barrier designed to temporarily contain the waters of a river or other waterway which may rise to unusual levels during seasonal or extreme weather events. Flood walls are mainly used on locations where space is scarce, such as cities or where building levees or dikes (dykes) would interfere with other interests, such as existing buildings, historical architecture or commercial use of embankments.
Flood walls are nowadays mainly constructed from pre-fabricated concrete elements. Flood walls often have floodgates which are large openings to provide passage except during periods of flooding, when they are closed. As a flood wall mostly consist of relatively short elements compared to dikes, the connections between the elements are critical to prevent the failure of the flood wall.
The substantial costs of flood walls can be justified by the value of commercial property thus protected from damage caused by flooding.
Flood walls are almost solely used in cities, notably:

IBS flood protection - Due to the increasing number of extreme flood events worldwide more and more cities and communities are finding solutions to protect themselves against flooding. In many cases permanent structures such as concrete flood walls, dams and dykes alongside rivers will adversely affect the local life and atmosphere during flood free times, therefore many cities and communities are installing mobile flood protection systems along their riverbanks and waterways.

Pour partir de chez moi,
Pour partir de chez toi,
Pour laisser tout tomber
Sans regarder derri?re soi,
Fallait-il, fallait-il,
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir,
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour chaque fois se quitter
Sur un mot maladroit,
Pour chaque fois le regretter
Et chaque fois recommencer,
Fallait-il, fallait-il,
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir,
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour s'aimer aussi mal,
Aussi mal qu'on s'aimait,
Pour se faire autant de mal,
Autant de mal qu'on s'est fait,
Fallait-il, fallait-il,
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir,
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour n'avoir jamais pu
Etre heureuse...
