A flood bypass, often referred to as a flood bypass channel or flood relief channel, is a designated pathway or channel designed to divert excess water from a river, creek, or other body of water during conditions of flooding. The primary purpose of a flood bypass is to mitigate the risk of flooding in urban areas, agricultural zones, or regions where floodwaters could cause significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and ecosystems.
