, Flood Routing Concept


Flood routing is a calculating procedure that
follows the behaviour of flood hydrograph upstream
to down stream




Unit 2 (Week 3) CIVE316 -- Prof Ping Dong -- 2

, Types of Flood Routing

River routing Definitions
determines the flood propagation
from an upstream section to a down stream section.

to the storage
