Sections are often set back from the river to form a wider channel, and flood valley basins are divided by multiple levees to prevent a single breach from flooding a large area.

The Germans fiercely defended the area for two reasons: it served as a staging area for the Ardennes Offensive ( what became the Battle of the Bulge ) that was already in preparation, and the mountains commanded access to the Schwammenauel Dam at the head of the Rur Lake ( Rurstausee ) which, if opened, would flood low-lying areas downstream and deny any crossing of the river.

The small village area of the island is approximately two feet above sea level and consequently escaped the effects of the flood.

While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.

Beavers create dams primarily out of mud and sticks to flood a particular habitable area.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.

Civil Defense has far to go and many problems to solve, but is it not in the best spirit of our pioneer tradition to be not only willing, but prepared to care for our own families and help our neighbors in any disaster -- storm, flood, accident or even war??

Downriver of Grand Coulee, each dam's reservoir is closely regulated by the Bonneville Power Administration ( BPA ), the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and various Washington public utility districts to ensure flow, flood control, and power generation objectives are met.

Gradual silting of the lake would seem to be occurring ; during low-water level, it is only about 1. 5 meters deep, while at flood stage it is between 10 and 15 meters deep.

During flood stage, the Casiquiare's main outflow point into the Rio Negro is supplemented by an overflow that is a second, and more minor, entry river bifurcation into the Rio Negro and upstream from its major, common low-water entry confluence with the Rio Negro.

In all stages of stream erosion, by far the most erosion occurs during times of flood, when more and faster-moving water is available to carry a larger sediment load.

This is a pseudocode implementation of an optimal fixed-memory flood fill algorithm written in structured English:

If the water is evaporated too slowly, the electrodes will flood, preventing the reactants from reaching the catalyst and stopping the reaction.

A related effect is flood frost which occurs when air cooled by ground-level radiation losses travels downhill to form pockets of very cold air in depressions, valleys, and hollows.
