(4105) Flood control
The use of techniques to change the physical characteristics of floods. These techniques include purpose-built river control structures. Management of inflow of floodwater into a region as well as its outflow in such manner that flooding, if any, is either kept to a minimum (return period, extent) or occurs at a pre-determined moment and during such period.
