human changes to waterbodies and runoff. Flood management methods can be either of the structural type (i.e. flood control) and of the non-structural...

Surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or...

river/areal flooding can occur, known locally as "overland flooding". This is different from "overland flow" defined as "surface runoff". The Red River...

top-two runoff, or two-round plurality (as originally termed in French), is a single winner voting method. It is sometimes called plurality-runoff, although...

runoff or overland flow. Once in a watercourse, runoff is referred to as streamflow, channel runoff, or river runoff. Urban runoff is surface runoff created...

and seepage through building wall and floors. Urban runoff can be a major source of urban flooding and water pollution in urban communities worldwide....

further retained by the metre-high beach ridge. When runoff is prevented and water gathers, flash flooding results. Rising sea levels will further slow drainage...

it is rarely the main cause of flooding. However, it does contribute to flooding by providing a stage onto which runoff from other sources is superimposed...

can be divided into sub-catchments and the various runoff hydrographs may be combined using flood routing techniques. The hydrology of a linear reservoir...

The history of flooding in Canada includes floods caused by snowmelt runoff or freshet flooding, storm-rainfall and "flash flooding", ice jams during ice...

A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry lakes and depressions. It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe...

of water in its design. It is used to manage stormwater runoff, for protection against flooding, for erosion control, and to serve as an artificial wetland...

valley received large amounts of runoff from rain and snowfall. The area surrounding the city is prone to flooding due to its location on the rivers...

is mostly confined to a concrete channel, serving only for flood control and urban runoff drainage, and is usually dry or a small trickle. At Orange it...

The Genesis flood narrative (chapters 6–9 of the Book of Genesis) is a Hebrew flood myth. It tells of God's decision to return the universe to its pre-creation...

100-year flood is a flood event that has on average a 1 in 100 chance (1% probability) of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. A 100-year flood is also...

The Great Flood of 1913 occurred between March 23 and March 26, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several...
