What is the floodway primarily characterized by?

Deep, slow-moving water
The portion of floodplain where development is encouraged
Deep, fast-moving water
Areas reserved for agricultural use

The correct answer is: Deep, fast-moving water

A Deep, slow-moving water may be found in the floodplain, but not in the floodway. The floodway is characterized by water that is fast-moving and has a higher volume. B: Development is typically not encouraged in the floodway. The floodway is designed to allow for the natural movement of flood waters without causing extensive damage to buildings and other structures. D: Areas reserved for agricultural use are typically located in the floodplain, not the floodway. The floodway is designed to protect both urban and rural areas from flood damage.
