  1. 4-2. flood • 4-2-1. Generals • Overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry • Occurs whenever/wherever the water is supplied more than the drainage capacity (how about sea flooding?) • Upstream vs. downstream flooding

  2. 4-2-2. Stream (River) • The main drainage of the watershed – so critical for the flooding • Probably the most significant medium for erosion, transportation & sedimentation on land • We are still heavily dependent on streams

  9. For the third time in 15 years the Mississippi River massively burst its banks this spring, inundating tiny Missouri towns such as Winfield (population 720) and Foley (population 178), causing potentially billions of dollars' worth of destruction—although the damages are still being assessed—and hiking corn prices to $8.00 a bushel in the wake of the lost crop http://www.ehponline.org/members/2008/116-9/spheres.html
