A flood plain is the relatively flat land beside a lake or river, naturally liable to flooding if any overflow occurs. It is really part of the water's living space, which it uses periodically to stretch and spread out. Floods are most destructive in that part of the flood plain known as the floodway, where the water flows fastest.

An excavated or natural channel, usually removed some distance from a dam, provided to permit the release of extraordinary flood flows or flood discharge beyond the capacity of the service spillway. Control is seldom furnished and a low embankment of earth may be used to allow the water surface of the reservoir to rise above the crest of the emergency spillway. If continued inflow causes overtopping of the embankment plug, it is intended that the plug shall wash away, releasing the excess water without endangering the main dam. 4, record 13, English, - emergency%20spillway

Canal creusé ou naturel, d'habitude éloigné à une certaine distance d'un barrage, prévu pour permettre la décharge de débits de crue exceptionnels dépassant la capacité de l'évacuateur de service non restreint. Son réglage est rarement prévu et une basse digue en terre peut être utilisée pour permettre à la surface d'eau de la retenue de monter au-dessus de la crête de l'évacuateur de secours. Si l'arrivée continue d'eau entraîne la submersion de la digue fusible, on compte que celle-ci sera emportée par l'eau, laissant échapper l'eau excédentaire sans mettre en danger le barrage principal. 4, record 13, French, - %C3%A9vacuateur%20de%20secours

Flood-risk maps are the primary tool that guides the sensible use of flood-prone lands. They indicate flood-risk areas, where floodwaters are likely to spread. Municipalities can thus determine where to allow construction of floodproofed homes and other structures....
