indicates that the channel is extending into into a levee, how do I address this?
A. A channel cross section can be wider than the grid element and the channel may extend through two or more floodplain elements (with both a right and left bank element). If the channel extension occurs on the inside of a bend the channel may extend into levees or even other channel elements. This can be viewed in the GDS or FLOENVIR by zooming in on the channel reach. After viewing the extension in the GDS or FLOENVIR determine how the channel left or right bank elements may be reassigned to eliminate the any channel extension problems. You may determine that the best approach is to shorten the channel width or length. This can be accomplished by reducing the channel top width (edit the cross section in PROFILES) or reducing the channel length (XLEN). If the channel extends through a levee element, it may be more practical to just set the levee back further away from the river.
