Flow Routing Q

t
 Procedure to
determine the flow
Q
hydrograph at a
point on a
watershed from a t
known hydrograph
upstream Q

 As the hydrograph
travels, it
t
 attenuates
 gets delayed Q

t
Why route flows?

 Account for changes in flow hydrograph as a flood wave passes

downstream
 This helps in
 Accounting for storages

 Studying the attenuation of flood peaks
