Flood-meadow
Land adjacent to a river subject to seasonal flooding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A flood-meadow (or floodmeadow) is an area of grassland or pasture beside a river, subject to seasonal flooding.[1] Flood-meadows are distinct from water-meadows in that the latter are artificially created and maintained, with flooding controlled[2] on a seasonal and even daily basis.
