    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.

    The belief is that these structures will control the flow of water when there is storm runoff and reduce flooding in areas below the basins and near the channels and washes. The detention basins operated by the district vary in size from 10 to 50 acres (4.0 to 20.2 ha) and are up to 50 feet (15 m) deep.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_lining

    Concrete used for canal lining is typically non-reinforced, as a way to reduce cost. A common method for constructing concrete lining is the use of slip forms, which are drawn down the length of the canal as the concrete is poured. [3] Hand laying of concrete or prefabricated sections are also used when only a short distance needs to be covered ...
