Good point, but is the 31.2 feet total depth, what is the normal high ?  If
20 feet normally, then that's only an 11.2 foot flood level (I don't mean
*only* as that trivializes for anyone that suffered the flood)

Not necessarily, I wouldn't consider 20 feet to be safe enough if you're
close to a major river.  Look at recent flood events like the one in Cedar
Rapids:

    Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    "... The Cedar River reached a record high of 31.2 feet on June 14th, 
    2008."
