Application of Running Water-Type Retarding Basin to Old Kinu River Floodplain, Japan
Hydrology, 2023 In the upper and middle reaches of rivers in Japan, river channels used to meander in a comparatively narrow floodplain and heavy rain runoff used to naturally expand over the entire floodplain, retarding floods toward the downstream.

Impacts of groundwater extraction on salinization risk in a semi-arid floodplain [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In the lower River Murray in Australia, a combination of a reduction in the frequency, duration and magnitude of natural floods, rising saline water tables in floodplains, and excessive evapotranspiration have led to an irrigation-induced groundwater ...
