    This document discusses flood routing techniques used to determine flood levels at different points along a river. It describes two categories of routing: reservoir routing which analyzes flood levels upstream of reservoirs, and channel routing which analyzes flood levels along river channels. Hydrologic routing methods use continuity equations while hydraulic methods also use equations of motion. Key equations presented relate inflow and outflow rates to changes in storage levels. Attenuation and time lag effects of flood peaks passing through reservoirs are also discussed.

    FLOOD ROUTING

    Flood routing is the technique of determining the flood hydrograph at a section of


    a river by utilizing the data of flood flow at one or more upstream sections. The
    hydrologic analysis of problems such as flood forecasting, flood protection,
    reservoir design and spillway design invariably include flood routing. In these
    applications two broad categories of routing can be recognized. These are:
    1. Reservoir routing, and
    2. Channel routing
    A variety of routing methods are available and they can be broadly classified into
    two categories as:
    1. Hydrologic routing and
    2. hydraulic routing
    Hydrologic-routing methods employ essentially the equation of continuity.
    Hydraulic methods, on the other hand, employ the continuity equation together
    with the equation of motion of unsteady.

    BASIC EQUATIONS
    The equation of continuity used in all hydrologic routing as the primary equation states
    that the difference between the inflow and outflow rate is equal to the rate of change of
    storage, i.e.

    HYDROLOGIC STORAGE ROUINGT


    (Level pool Routing)

    As the horizontal water surface is assumed in the reservoir, the storage routing is also
    known as Level Pool Routing.

    Here t is any chosen interval, approximately 20 to 40% of the time of rise of the
    inflow hydrograph.

    ATENUATION
    The peak of the outflow hydrograph will be smaller than of the inflow
    hydrograph. This reduction in the peak value is called attenuation.

    TIME LAG
    The peak of the outflow occurs after the peak of the inflow; the time
    difference between the two peaks is known as lag. The attenuation and
    lag of a flood hydrograph at a reservoir are two very important aspects
    of a reservoir operating under a flood-control criteria.

    HYDROLOGIC CHANNEL ROUTING


    Channel routing the storage is a function of both outflow and inflow discharges.
    The total volume in storage can be considered under two categories as:
    1. Prism storage, and
    2. Wedge storage.

    The total storage in the channel reach can then be expressed as

    ......................(i)
    ......................(ii)
    From Eqn (i) and Eqn (ii)
