Flood Plain


Explanation:
Wiki link:

``A floodplain or flood plain is a flat or nearly flat land adjacent a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge.`

A flood plain(s) is the correct usage in the UK.
