A flood is
O the region from which surface
water drains into a particular
stream.
O the condition in which stream
stage is above channel bank
height.

channel along its length
the topographic high separating
basins of different streams

If you were to examine the longitudinal
profile of a typical river, you would
probably find the gradient is
steepest near the land of the
stream.
steepest near the headwaters of
the stream.
O steepest near the mouth of the
stream.
O the same at both the headwaters,
mouth, and land of the stream.
