Clarification of overbank flows
Water BodiesUnderstanding Overbank Flows: A Comprehensive Analysis Overbank flows, also known as floodplain inundation, refer to the phenomenon where water from a river overflows its banks and spreads across the adjacent floodplain. These flows occur when the volume of water in a river exceeds the capacity of its channel, causing the water to overflow into the
