Ideas for expanding article

Blurb for DYK

Did You Know

...Flood walls are man-made primarily vertical barriers designed to temporarily contain the waters of a river or other waterway during seasonal or extreme weather events?

Very US-oriented, broaden your vision, Yankees!

Should this article mention ...

... specialised forms of floodwalls, such as the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier in Providence, RI, USA or the Saint Petersburg Dam in Saint Petersburg, Russia? Or should those be kept separate. They certainly seem to be floodwalls in this article's understanding ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Getheren (talk • contribs) 04:44, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Improving quality of this page

The city of Boston Massachusetts has announced a new coastal flood projection draft plan which calls for extensive use of flood walls. Wanting to learn more about flood walls vs levees and other flood management approaches, I see page is flagged as Start quality and needs citations, so will be putting attention on it. I will be trying out a new AI-based citation discovery tool "Archive Sources," presented this week at Wikimania 2026. Newcurtains (talk) 10:43, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
