Inside is a term used to indicate the dry land side of a dike. Unlike the outlying area, this indoor area, such as a polder, will be protected from floods. Misunderstandings
In the rivers, the term creates some confusion because of the fact that the land between the river and the river dike (the so-called floodplains) is called outwardly, while the unspeakable passant finds these landmarks either "within" the (river) dikes lie. Therefore, in the event of doubt, it should be borne in mind that "utter" in the word utterance also means "outside" so that no misunderstandings can arise.
A further misunderstanding leads to the text originally stated in this lemma: "The inner dike is also called the" sleeper ", the outer door of the waker."
The terms "inner dike" and "outer dike" are, after all, only on the seabed (arms) bordered area, but not on river dike. There is talk of summer and winter dike. The winter dike limits the winter bed of the river, where this winter bed still has to keep the river at its greatest drain in these dikes.
The (much) lower effluent of the regulated (meltwater and many other) rivers in summer time takes place within the summer cages, with the advantage that both summer and summer cattle can be sweetened and clay collection can take place, if that river has a better manageable stream of coal and depth for shipping. In the Netherlands this is a well-known phenomenon, but for many reasons such regulation is lacking in rivers such as the Loire in France. Waker and sleeper
The terms 'waker' and 'sleeper' apply to dikes that are built as coastal defense by sea and sea arms. In addition, the 'waker' is the 'outer dike' and the 'sleeper', which is bordered by the seabed, possibly at the seaside, a (often long) previously erected old seaward dike that lost its function after the present waker has been built, but as a reserved remains in case the "waker" would break through a heavy storm. This consciously still well-managed "sleeper" was previously referred to as "waker", a "dry dike", previously distinguished from the storm by the sea, and, as a result of its function, remained subject to the rules of the water board or hermaadship that was responsible for the dike management.
Although in many places in the Netherlands the slums on the map can be recognized (Friesland: Middelzee, Zeeland: Braakman), they can quickly be confused with 'inlaid dikes'. Inlet dykes are dikes that - in anticipation of an expected breakthrough, or after a waker breakthrough - are used to protect people, livestock and crops in the hinterland against invasive seawater. A large number of inlet dykes are recognizable by a (almost always) internally sharply curved rearrangement of the remaining dike course, often with a visually unequally external pond (wheel or wool) or creek (stream hole). Incidentally, these are invariably diverged, often referred to as 'wheel', of course in river dikes.
