1. "River dykes" mean dyke sections along river banks, which prevent flood water and tide water from causing flooding in areas protected by such dyke sections.
2 "Sea dykes" mean dyke sections along coasts or lagoons, which prevent seawater from causing flooding in areas protected by such dyke sections.
3. "Inner dykes" mean dyke sections located in areas protected by river dykes or sea dykes with two ends linking to the outer main dykes and have the reserve effect of preventing river and sea water from causing flooding in the protected areas when the outer dykes are overflowed or broken.
4. "Outbound dykes" mean dyke sections located outside river dykes, which are lower and smaller than the river dykes and have the effect of protecting the economic-residential quarters in the rivers' sandbanks or alluvial plains.
5. "Existing dyke foot" of earth dykes is the point of intersection between dyke taluses or berms and the average natural ground at the time of determining dyke-protection limit markers. For concrete dykes and dykes of other materials, the existing dyke foot is the outermost concrete point of the foundation in dykes' upper reach and lower reach.
6. "Dyke-protecting embankments" mean assorted embankments which are built to directly protect important dyke sections or driving the flows away from the banks, thus having the indirect effect of dyke protection.
...
