The floodplain provisions provided in this chapter are intended to protect the floodplain area, as defined below, so that the reservoir capacity shall not be reduced, thereby creating a danger to areas previously not so endangered in time of high water, or impeding, retarding, accelerating, or changing the direction of the flow of water or carrying capacity of the river valley or otherwise increasing the possibility of flood.
