Essentially, a floodplain is an area that can be part of a delta but not all deltas have floodplains.
Where in tewksbury is a flood plain?
Tewksbury, Mass. has no major rivers. The Shawsheen and the Merrimack are in other towns. Flood plain is the area that would be underwater if a river flooded. Although the area around Silver Lake and Lubbers Brook in Wilmington, near the southern part of Rt 38 in Tewksbury is pretty flat, it still would not flood, because of the small likelihood that Silver Lake would ever overflow. Areas where rain overflows the streets during storms might be considered to be flood plains in a small sense.

Why does Clonmel in Tipperary flood so much?
It is down to geographic reasons in terms of the river Suir flowing through the town and tending to flood. Work is ongoing on a flood defence system to help deal with the problem. Clonmel is built on a flood plain, much like the Egyptians built on the nile delta, its because historically the river flooding would have yielded fertile ground, and later a source of trade. The flood defence system will not work in clonmel due to the age of the town, only certain sections of roads can be stopped from flooding, leaving the entire "old bridge" part of the town liable to flood the whole time. Currently only a small section of the flood defence system has been implamented, the rest has yet to materalise.
What is an embankment?
