   Over 700,000 people reside within its 129-square-mile (330 km 2) drainage area, which contains 124 miles (200 km) of open-channel waterway, mostly from artificial drainage channels. [1] This high level of development, combined with a relative lack of flood control infrastructure, means Brays Bayou is extremely prone to flash flooding events.

7. Flood control channel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_control_channel

   Straight, clear, smooth concrete-walled channels speed up flow, and are therefore likely to make flooding downstream worse. Modern flood control seeks to "slow the flow", and deliberately flood some low-lying areas, ideally vegetated, to act as sponges, letting them drain again as the floodwaters go down.
