An embankment built to restrict the flow of water or other liquids. Also known as a levee.
How to map
Draw a way 
along the top of the dike. This is often seen on aerial photographs at the transition between sun and shade. Tag this with man_made=dyke. Optionally, if the dike has a name, you can add this with name=*.
If there is a road/path or railway on top of the dyke, draw the highway or railway and use embankment=dyke instead.
For closable openings in the dyke, for example for a road or railway, see the tag barrier=coupure. The opening can be closed with for example a door, metal bars or sand(bags)
