Floodplain zoning is the a soft engineering management strategy whose aim is to reduce flood plain developement. An area or 'zone' of the floodplain is protected against to minimise financial loss via damage to property. This area can naturally flood, without risking damage to people or property.
Hydrologic floodplain, the land adjacent to the baseflow channel residing below bankfull elevation. It is inundated about two years out of three. Not every stream corridor has a hydrologic floodplain.Topographic floodplain, the land adjacent to the channel including the hydrologic floodplain and other lands up to an elevation based on the elevation reached by a flood peak of a given frequency; for example, the 1-percent (100 year) floodplain.Another way to look at it, in an incising channel, that is to say that the river is cutting into valley, will create two floodplain benches, the lower and narrow one the hydrologic floodplain and the higher and much wider one the topographical floodplain.
an example of a famous flood plain is the pantanal it is the largest floodpain in the world
The are different colors that are used for different zoning maps. Most of the standards colors for zoning maps include greens, blues, oranges, pinks and yellows.

I am uncomfortable, living in a floodplain...
the floodplain was near my house.
Thankfully, the floodplain is dry right now.
It causes the loss of space for development of homes and businesses - which can increase land values in the area due to the shortage of space. Also, this flood management scheme does not actually reduce the risk of flooding. Instead, it reduces the effect of it. Another disadvantage is that it can cause dispute over the zoning of land between developers and the Environment Agency for example.

An example of a floodplain would be the land around Lake Superior
Culgoa Floodplain National Park was created in 1994.
Hmm, let's think about this. Floodplain. Plain: A flat area of land. Flooded: Filled with water. So a floodplain gets filled with water,

what does a zoning engineer do
Floodplain is important because it helps reduce flooding and recharges our drinking water supply.
