Floodway Delineation and Management
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 113, Issue 2
Abstract
A definition of the term “floodway” is suggested, considering historical perspective, and discussing often‐overlooked floodway functions that should influence floodway delineation. Rationales are presented for value judgments that might affect floodway delineation. Also emphasized is the importance to local governments of thorough assessment of multiple land and water needs and risks before making floodway delineation determinations.
