The meaning and "use of": embank
verb
- construct a wall or bank of earth or stone in order to confine (a river) within certain limits. - Trench's solution to the now-threatening nature of the Thames was to embank the river, allowing the water to cover the mudbanks and to scour away the semi-liquid ‘sluggish Filth’ from the sewers.
