Abstract: |
Guidelines governing areas subject to 100-year floods consider the expected vertical elevation of floodwaters but overlook the possibility that a river channel may move laterally. A recent example of such an event in Washington State underscores the need to include such considerations as part of efforts to manage floodplains. |
