Been raining in Kansas a bit lately. I tossed an ND on the A6000 and took a few snapshots.

Wow, that’s crazy seeing the water up that high.  I remember the path being a few feet above the water normally, although maybe it’s closer than I think.  Either way, seeing it covered is kind of weird.

That area is a designated floodway. It’s meant to take as much water as possible so that the surrounding areas don’t flood. It’s neat to see it in action.

All the areas with red stripes are within the floodway. All the areas with orange/tan stripes would flood if the levees weren’t there.

It does this every year or two, the parks along the river are designed to flood.

Neat to see it in action though.

Seeing that map it totally makes sense.  Never really thought about it a lot when I was there in person though.

Now that I think about it, that sounds familiar.  Growing up my family almost never left the west side at all, so I rarely ever encountered it.

I mean, it was all done as part of the redesign/master plan that went with the construction of Exploration Place. It was a pretty boring floodway path  until then.
