	Flood Relief
		Flooding deposits silt on the flood plain, improving its fertility.
		In order to preserve these farms and cities, some rivers prone to flooding have had extensive and elaborate systems of dikes constructed along their shores and surrounding nearby cities.
		The control of annual flooding, by dikes and by dams, also prevents the deposition of silt on the rich farmlands and can result in their eventual depletion.

		This is significant because the fear of flood is a strong motivator in many regions, and has resulted in gravity dams being built in some instances where an arch dam would have been more economical.
		To minimize that erosion (especially with maximum water elevation at the crest), the downstream face of the spillway is ordinarily made an ogee curve.

	Technical Report Abstracts
		Flood is a communication primitive that can be initiated by the base station of a sensor network to send a copy of some message to every sensor in the network.
		When a flood of some message is initiated, the message is forwarded by every sensor that receives the message until the sensors decide not to forward the message any more.
		In this paper, we present a family of flood protocols, called the disciplined flood protocols, that aim to reduce or prevent most message collisions that occur in a regular flood protocol.

		If some resistant material slows or stops the downstream movement of a meander, a stream may erode through the neck between two legs of a meander to become temporarily straighter, leaving behind an arc-shaped body of water termed an oxbow lake or bayou.
		Typically, streams are said to have a particular profile, beginning with steep gradients, no flood plain, and little shifting of channels, eventually evolving into streams with low gradients, wide flood plains, and extensive meanders.

	Reservoir (water) Summary
		Reservoirs allow more settlement on flat, arable flood plains near the river's edge because the threat of flooding is greatly diminished.
		Foremost is the destruction of instream and stream side vegetation and habitat caused by flooding hundreds of miles of river basin behind reservoirs.
		Used to prevent flooding to lower lying lands, flood control reservoirs collect water mainly in spring, then release it slowly over the course of the summer.

		Other examples of changes in FEMA procedures would include flood plain easements along the Mississippi and other rivers, where farming could occur but housing would not; and sunseting buildings built across earthquake faults (the-25,000 seat U.C. Berkeley stadium, across the Hayward Fault is one such example).
