What part of the stream valley is covered by water during a flood?
During a flood, the area of the stream valley that is covered by water is typically the floodplain, which includes the low-lying regions adjacent to the stream or river. This area is designed to absorb excess water when the stream overflows its banks. Additionally, the water may cover parts of the channel and surrounding terrain that are normally dry. Floodwaters can extend further into adjacent areas, depending on the severity of the flood.
Is flood plain the same as flood control?
No, a floodplain is the low-lying area along a river or stream that is prone to flooding. Flood control refers to measures taken to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding, such as building levees or dams or implementing land use regulations in flood-prone areas.
