Defining the River Corridor. It is important to define precisely the area of the Floodplain that comprises the River Corridor. The Otaki Floodplain Management Plan provided a base definition to work from, for the Hutt River Corridor. That definition is summarised below: The River Corridor is the minimum area that is able to contain a major flood and. pass water safely to the sea. . The outer limit of the River Corridor, where not adjacent to the ponding and overflow path, is the. extent of the design flood. .
A river is the general term for a channel and the. water in it. The area supplying water into a channel is a drainage basin. The boundary. between drainage basins is a water divide. A river system is composed of the main. stream and many tributaries. However, there are many cases where several tributaries. have similar length and flow, and it is difficult to determine which is the main stream. A drainage pattern is a plan of a river system.
