peer agreement (net): +2floodway Explanation: This should be equivalent to "Durchströmungsbereich." Examples The centerpiece of the legislation is a ban on the construction of buildings within the 100-year floodway of any stream. ***The floodway is the area alongside a stream that serves as an expanded channel for water flow during floods. *** (A flood plain is the larger area in which flood water sits when the stream is incapable of handling all of it.) http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1987-11-19/news/870327030... The legislation he will introduce at the Nov. 16 Metro Council meeting would ban new developments only on the land closest to a river or stream, called the ***floodway.*** http://www.wcyb.com/news/25666417/detail.html |

| Reference: Definitions (US) Reference information: Here are some relevant terms and definitions: http://www.anr.state.vt.us/dec//waterq/rivers/docs/nfip/rv_4... From this list, "regulatory floodway" comes quite close IMHO: "means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height" Cf. also: "Floodplain or flood-prone area - means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source" |

| Reference: Info Reference information: Zusätzlich wurde der Hochwasser-Abflussbereich, d. h. Bereiche mit Fließgeschwindigkeiten gleich oder größer 1,0 m/s, vom Retentionsbereich, das sind Bereiche geringer oder ohne Durchströmung, abgegrenzt. Der in der Arbeitskarte abgegrenzte Hochwasser-Abflussbereich umfasst die bei einem 100-jährlichen Hochwasserereignis mit erheblicher Intensität durchströmten Flächen. Der Retentionsbereich markiert die flächenhafte Ausdehnung eines solchen Hochwasserereignisses mit geringer oder gar keiner Durchströmung. http://www.hochwasser-meusslitz-zschieren.de/Daten/�berschwem... Im Durchströmungsbereich der Elbe besteht ein generelles Bauverbot. Jeder Verlust von Retentionsraum durch Bauvorhaben muss grundsätzlich durch Neuschaffung an anderer Stelle ausgeglichen werden. KORNDÖRFER portrays pre-emptive schemes against flooding by the Elbe that have been practised by the city of Dresden for over 200 years. A policy of rigorous non-development of meadows and dried-out former tributaries of the Elbe, the fashioning of two flood channels to broaden the cross-section of the current, and a retention area downstream together ensure once-in-a-century flooding can be absorbed. http://tinyurl.com/3rkyjc7 |
