Overbank deposits along an abandoned channel of the Animas river in Elk Park. The bed of the abandoned channel is about 1 ft above the low-flow level of the Animas River; consequently, the channel is probably flooded annually during spring runoff.

Les dépôts de débordement forment, d'une part, des terrasses continues dans les aires basses des avant-dunes, et d'autre part, aux endroits où l'érosion a percé les hautes dunes, des accumulations isolées caractérisées par des gorges étroites et des éventails distincts. Les débordements individuels déposent fréquemment une épaisseur de 0,25 à 0,75 m, ou plus, de sédiments sur la surface des éventails. Ces sédiments de dépôts de débordement sur les éventails sont formés principalement de couches planaires presque horizontales, et les dépôts localisés près des bordures des éventails exhibent fréquemment un litage frontal oblique, reflétant une sédimentation dans les eaux calmes de la baie ou des étangs entre les dunes.  2, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20d%C3%A9bordement

Willow Creek Lake is a flood control project designed to protect the city of Heppner, Oregon. In 1903, Heppner experienced one of the most devastating floods in the history of the United States. Two hundred forty-seven people perished in a flash flood. The project will prevent a recurrence of a similar disaster. Storage for irrigation is also part of the project. A lake for water conservation and irrigation is maintained at elevation 2063. When a flash flood occurs, the flood waters will be caught and stored, and slowly released until the lake returns to elevation 2063.  3, record 5, English, - flood%20waters
