Orphan date December 2009 Unreferenced date December 2009 A flood bypass is a region of land or a large man made structure that is designed to convey excess flood waters from a river or stream in order to reduce the risk of flooding on the natural river or stream near a key point of interest, such as a city. Flood bypasses, sometimes called floodways , often have man made diversion works, such as diversion weir s and spillway s, at their head or point of origin. The main body of a flood bypass is often a natural flood plain . Many flood bypasses are designed to carry enough water such that combined flows down the original river or stream and flood bypass will not exceed the expected maximum flood flow of the river or stream. Flood bypasses are typically used only during major floods and act in a similar nature to a detention basin . Since the area of a flood bypass is significantly larger than the cross sectional area of the original river or stream channel from which water is diverted, the velocity of water in a flood bypass will be significantly lower than the velocity of the flood water in the original system. These low velocities often cause increased sediment Deposition sediment deposition in the flood bypass, thus it is important to incorporate a mantaince program for the entire flood bypass system when it is not being actively used during a flood operation. When not being used to convey water, flood bypasses are sometimes used for agricultural or environmental purposes ... crops or herd livestock that feed off the flood plain. Since the flood bypass is subjected to sedimentation during flood events, the land is often very productive and even a loss of crops due to flooding can sometimes be recovered due to the high Crop yield yield of the land during the non flood periods.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Flood alerts are issued by government weather agencies to alert residents that flood conditions are a possibility for their area. Types of flood alerts A flash flood watch is issued when weather conditions are favorable for very heavy rain and flash flood ing. Formerly, flood watches were issued separately from flash flood watches however, the two were recently merged into a single product. Citation needed date May 2008 A watch does not mean that flooding is actually occurring, only that conditions have created or will create a significant risk for it. If flooding actually does occur, a flood warning and urgent action should be taken. A flood warning or flash flood warning is issued when flood ing in a certain area is imminent or occurring. Flood alerts by country In Canada , a heavy rainfall warning which indicates rainfall amounts that could produce flooding are expected has basically the same meaning as a flood watch. In the United States , the National Weather Service issues watches and warnings for flooding on a per county basis. When a flood warning is issued in the United States it means a river or creek is in flood. In Australia , the Bureau of Meteorology issues a flood watch that covers similar conditions to the United States Flood Watch, however, it is known by slightly different names in some states.

A flood gun is an electromechanical device that provides a steady flow of low energy electron s to a desired target or flood area. Typically, the target is an area on an Insulator electrical insulator or semiconductor where another writing gun has just left a net positive charge. If the energy of a flood gun s electrons is properly balanced, each impinging flood gun electron knocks out one secondary electron from the target, thus preserving the net charge in the target area. This is called charge neutralization. Flood guns are typically used in photoelectron spectroscopy , oscilloscopes and Ion implantation ion beam implanters as their secondary electron gun .
