Mississippi embankment? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

levee

(Other definitions for levee that I've seen before include "Embankment on the Mississippi" , "Retaining embankment" , "River bank reinforcement, particularly in the US" , "An embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing" , "Early morning reception by a monarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
