Building diversion channels would likely cost less over the next 100 years compared to elevating buildings in the flood plain. This is because building diversion channels would involve a one-time cost for construction and maintenance, while elevating buildings would require ongoing maintenance and potential retrofitting as flood levels and risks change over time.
