Commit #1519- Reduction of peak flow by reservoirs
- Confinement of the flow within a predetermined channel by levees, flood walls, or a closed conduit
- Reduction of peak stage by increased velocities resulting from channel improvement
- Diversion of floodwaters through a flood bypass, which may return the water to the same channel at a point downstream or deliver it to another channel or different watershed
- Floodproofing of specific properties

- Temporary evacuation of flood-threatened areas on the basis of flood warnings
