Letter: Flood plain violated
‘Natural flood plain” is a phrase that has been getting attention recently. Flood plains serve as natural flood protection. When a river is allowed to spread out it reduces the height of flood for everyone. Conversely, when a flood plain is eliminated by development, the river level naturally rises in the main stem, affecting everyone in the basin.By: Daniel Zink, INFORUM
