0 an area of flat land near a river that is often flooded when the river becomes too full
1 an area of low, flat land near a river that often floods when the level of the river rises and flows over its sides
These approaches could be used for an extension of this paper to analyse indirect uses of the floodplain resource.
Several are intimately linked to growing hazards as pressure for new housing encroaches upon floodplains and old water meadows.
In the floodplain forests the inundation phase is followed by a short dry season, when the rainfalls start late.
The largest of these flows arrived onto the floodplain and were responsible for the concentration, burial and preservation of the dinosaur remains.
Fisheries production is not adequately valued by agricultural landowners, since much of the floodplain fish production is used for subsistence consumption by the landless.
With the exception of sulphur, the floodplain displayed the lowest concentrations of micronutrients (not shown).
Our analysis shows that the advantages of a free-flowing river connected to its floodplain are not only biological, but also economic.
Furthermore, impala are often observed near forest boundaries, which are notably absent near much of the floodplain.
