DAM!!
A breach refers to a failure or break in a dam, levee, or similar structure that allows water to flow uncontrollably, often leading to flooding. In contrast, a levee is an embankment constructed to prevent overflow from a river or other bodies of water, protecting the surrounding land from flooding. While a levee aims to contain water, a breach signifies a failure of that containment.
