The flood pro- <br />file shows the relative depth of floodwaters along the centerline <br /> <br /> <br />of the stream. The cross section example indicates the depth and <br />lateral extent of flooding that would occur at the specified cross <br /> <br />section: other information on floodflow depths at the location of <br />the cross section is tabulated below.
