- Risk Transfer Without Reduction
- A levee raised to protect one town confines the river to a narrower channel, so at a given discharge the water rises higher and moves faster past that frontage — and that heightened flood stage is pushed onto unleveed land downstream and on the opposite bank
This sourceEstablishes the hydraulic half empirically -- flood stage at a given discharge has risen 2-4 m over the past century along engineered reaches of the Mississippi basin while unengineered rivers show no such rise -- rather than the downstream and opposite-bank destination of that stage.
