À proprement parler, les termes «crue» et «inondation» ne sont pas interchangeables. Cependant, il est fréquent que les termes «protection contre les crues», «défense contre les crues» et «lutte contre les crues» soient utilisés lorsque l'on parle des dispositions prises contre les inondations qui résultent du débordement des eaux hors du lit d'un cours d'eau ou d'un lac à la suite d'une crue. 7, record 1, French, - lutte%20contre%20les%20inondations
