Babylon University HYDROLOGY Dr. Shamil A. Behaya College of Engineering " Stage-Civil Dept. 2017-2018 9- FLOOD ROUTING Flood routing is a procedure through which the variation of discharge with time at a point on a stream channel can be determined by consideration of similar data for a point upstream. The flood hydrograph is a wave moved from a point to point and the discharge changed with it due to changing in the stage along the stream because of many reasons: 1- Channel storage. 2- The resistance. 3- The addition or drawn sides discharges. There are two types used for flood routing: ion. jum equation for 1- Hydrologic routing methods: mainly depend orf edhti 2- Hydraulic routing methods: mainly depend unsteady flow in addition to continuity equation. Relation between the discharge and stoffige is very infortant and the continuity equation will be: ¥ as, ae-/-@ dl @r S= Sap age where S: storage.

This is occurs in reservoirs in which that the water surface is horizontal, the width and the depth are large in compare with the length, so the velocity of flow is very small, Continuity equation will be [S=/(Q)].
