The relative lack of wetlands and presence of permafrost means that there is only a limited area and depth in which melt-water can be stored, so that the spring melt-water typically runs quickly off the land rather than soaking into the ground and being released slowly over a long time period. The result is a "spring freshet" that starts in the lower reaches of the Peel River during the early part of May each year, and reaches its peak flow only a week or two later. 2, record 3, English, - spring%20freshet

crecida: Algunas fuentes incluyen "avenida" como sinónimo de crecida. Sin embargo, la definición de "avenida" que los expertos proponen indica que es un tipo de crecida violenta y súbita, que son las características que la diferencian de una crecida normal. 4, record 7, Spanish, - crecida

crecida: No se debe confundir con "inundación". La relación entre estos dos conceptos es de causa y efecto si entendemos que con una crecida hay riesgo de inundación, que se produce si el aumento de caudal provoca el desbordamiento del cauce de un curso de agua. Por otra parte, no todas las inundaciones son producto de una crecida, pueden deberse también a lluvias intensas, descongelamiento o rotura de la valla de contención de una presa. 4, record 7, Spanish, - crecida

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 12, English, - flood%20waters

Flood water spreading is a method that follows numbers of purposes. Some example of these are: to stabilise drifting sand, to control erosion, to develop artificial forestlands, to make changes the environment of the belt zones around desert, to satisfy water requirement, to remove sediment carried by flood-water for changing the bare lands to farm lands, to control ground water quality by preventing the intrusion of saltwater into water bearing aquifer. 1, record 13, English, - flood%20water%20spreading

There are bound to be rainstorms whose water the soil cannot fully absorb - a point of major importance in arid and semi-arid areas, for this water can be collected and used to improve productivity locally. The following four water management methods and erosion control structures apply: . runoff harvesting (catching runoff for supplementary irrigation); . total absorption or infiltration; . runoff diversion (redirecting excess water); . runoff spreading (distribution of runoff energy). ... Structures to dissipate runoff energy. When rainfall exceeds the soil's absorption capacity, the sheet runoff can be controlled by spreading it across the whole slope rather than concentrating it in channels and outlets, where it can cause problems. Its energy can be dispersed by keeping the speed below 25 cm ... Such dispersion across the slope is achieved partly by cropping techniques that keep the soil surface rough (clods, many grass stalks, effect of weeds and mulching, etc.) and partly by structures such as permeable microdams, which temporarily slow the flow, allow some sedimentation, spread the flood, reduce peak flows and improve absorption. 1, record 14, English, - runoff%20spreading

Like other natural events, floods seem to occur in long-term cycles. Consequently, by studying streamflow records over many years, we can estimate the probability of a dangerously high flow. This can be expressed either as a percentage or as a recurrence interval. For example, we may say a flood has a one-per-cent chance of occurring in any year, or we may call it a one-in-a-hundred year flood.

Flood-risk maps are the primary tool that guides the sensible use of flood-prone lands. They indicate flood-risk areas. The maps may also show the "20-year flood" and "100-year flood" levels (generally accepted terms for the statistical likelihood that every year there is a five per cent chance of the 20-year flood occurring, and a one per cent chance of the 100-year flood occurring at that location .... Like other natural events, floods seem to occur in long-term cycles. Consequently, by studying stream flow records over many years, we can estimate the probability of a dangerously high flow. This can be expressed either as a percentage or as a recurrence interval. For example, we may say a flood has a one-per-cent chance of occurring in any year, or we may call it a one-in-a-hundred year flood.

Les cartes des risques d’inondation peuvent illustrer les niveaux des crues à récurrence, de 20 ans et de 100 ans(termes généralement reconnus pour représenter la probabilité statistique qu'il y a, chaque année, 5 % de chances qu'une crue à récurrence de 20 ans survienne et 1 % de chances qu'une crue à récurrence de 100 ans se produise à cet endroit).(...) La probabilité d’une montée dangereuse des eaux pourra être évaluée soit en pourcentage, soit en intervalles de récurrence. On dira, par ex., qu'une inondation a 1 % de chance de se produire n’ importe quelle année ou on la désignera sous le nom d’inondation de cent ans.
