A sleeper dike in Dutch language Dutch slaperdijk is a Dike construction dike which does not normally face water, but serves as a backup if a front line dike in front of it breaks. The sleeper dikes are usually located at places where there is a high risk of dike breakthrough or where used to be such a risk. The dike is only potentially safeguarding the land from the sea river, and is sleeping , hence the name. Sometimes there is even a secondary sleeper dike, which can be called a dreamer dike . Many of the sleeper dikes are historical, and have after the dike improvements of the Delta Plan no longer a theoretical function in protection against the water. However, in case of a breakthrough they do divide up the land in sections, and therefore stop the waterflow in some parts, and slow down in others. Also many of these dikes are protected because of their cultural historical and ecological value.

File Soak Dike, Skeffling geograph.org.uk 1262634.jpg thumb Soak Dike, Skeffling the left bank protects the flat farmland between the Humber and Skeffling village The term Soak dike is used in The Fens of eastern England to mean a ditch or drain running parallel with an embankment, for the purpose of taking any water that soaks through from the river or drain beyond the bank. In Lincolnshire , sock dyke was formerly, a frequently found form of the expression. ref Wheeler, W.H. A History of the Fens of South Lincolnshire 1896 . facsimile edn. Paul Watkins, Stamford. 1990 ISBN 1 871615 19 4. Appendix IV. ref In some parts of the world, the embankment would be called a levee . The soak is the ground water in the peat or silt of the fenland, though the term is often used to mean water table ref See Oxford English Dictionary. ISBN 0 19 861212 5. See soak, substantive, 2. ref . In The Fens, water from the surrounding higher land is carried across the land which lies below high tide level, in embanked rivers. In this way, the need for pumping is reduced. However, the banks are never completely waterproof so that even in an otherwise thoroughly drained fen , the water table near the river bank would be high, reducing the value of the land and weakening the bank. The leaky condition of the river embankments usually arose from a difficulty in finding good materials for their construction and from the piecemeal way in which the structures accumulated as the ground shrank or repairs were needed. The difficulty is overcome by cutting a fairly small ditch, perhaps twenty or thirty metres from the bank, so that it collects the ground water and feeds it to a pump. Counter drain Counter drain is another term for much the same thing though in this case, it may have been designed also to deal with water overflowing the river bank. The counter drain would therefore need to be bigger than the soak dike. Counter drain has tended to supersede the other term, particularly in its use as a proper ... more details
