    floodplain or floodway area that has been proposed to change; a decrease
    in the floodway may not decrease floodplain
    Blue & Blue Striped floodplain Yellow & Unshaded Areas - not in the regulated
    or floodway area that has been floodplain, but an area of low flood risk

    What's the difference between floodplain & floodway?


    Floodplain is the broader of the two terms; the floodplain includes the
    floodway, which is the primary area of stormwater flow within the floodplain.
