Flood Inundation Mapping Science
When planning for a flood, there are three key questions that must be answered: What areas will be flooded? How deep will the floodwaters get? When will the flood arrive? A flood inundation map library is a set of maps that together show where flooding may occur – and how deep it may be - over a range of potential flooding scenarios in a stream or river.
