Flood Attenuation

Flood Attenuation is the reduction in peak discharge and smoothing of a flood wave as it travels through a river system or reservoir, distinguished from other flood routing phenomena by its emphasis on the diminishing intensity of flood flows over time and space due to storage, friction, and distribution effects.
