Levees are very important elements of hydro-protection of regions placed in the neighbourhood of rivers or water reservoirs. They are subject to influence of many destructive factors. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the condition of levees periodically. Every weakening of their structure should be debugged in order to avoid breaking of the levee and consequent risk of flood. The paper presents results of examination of levees by means of an electromagnetic geophysical method: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This method enables the structure of the levee to be investigated in a fast and noninvasive way. The results of GPR measurements were compared with those obtained by means of geological sounding. All the measurements were carried out on some section of the levee of the Odra River in Wrocław, Poland.
