I am currently working on an assignment where I need to model flood risk areas. Firstly I was asked to identify potential flood risk zones based on the following criteria:

  1. identify areas that I would consider to have steep slopes. I think I have completed this task. I used the Slope tool here.

  2. Identify a 20 year flood zone and base this on an estimated distance from rivers. Then repeat the task for a 100 year flood return. A guide value would be not to go beyond 2 kilometers for the 100 year and less for the 20 year. I AM SO LOST HERE! I have no idea how to even start this. I have googled different things have come up with extensions that can be used but we never went over any such extensions in the college practicals so I am freaking out.

Please if anyone could help me here I would very much appreciate it.

What is the process for identifying a 20 year flood zone?
