Floodplain Defined

The low relief lands bordering a stream or river, common to the mature and old age stages of stream development. Floodplains store excess water in times of high water, and excess sediments in times of low water. Beware of building your dream house on a floodplain - they tend to get rather wet at irregular intervals.

This definition is in context to Earth Science. See more contextual defintions for Floodplain.
