Jeff was wondering what a "floodpath" is...

And also how it differs from a flood plain. I know what a flood plain is, but I'm not familiar with the term "flood path" or how that differs from a flood plain ;-)
Branch updated, I am gathering facts about floodplain vs floodpath
Floodplain: A flood plain is an area of flat land alongside a river. This area gets covered in water when the river floods. Flood plains are naturally very fertile due to the river sediment which is deposited there. Floodpath: The term "flowpath" is commonly used to refer to the path or route taken by water as it moves across the landscape during a flood event. In the context of our model , the term is used for river bifurcations. The variable 'floodpath outflow' is used to output the flow in the bifurcating river.
