3.2.2. Flood Routing

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is hydrologic routing?

   Hint

   Focus on how floods travel through channels.

2. 2.

   What does peak attenuation refer to?

   Hint

   Think about what happens to flood intensity over distance.

3. 3.

   What method is commonly used for hydrologic routing?

   • Muskingum Method
   • Fourier Method
   • Hydraulic Method

   Hint

   Think about names you’ve heard in this section.

4. 4.

   True or False: Lag time is the same as peak attenuation.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider their definitions carefully.

5. 5.

   Given a scenario of a heavy rainfall event, outline how you would apply both hydrologic and hydraulic routing to manage the floods effectively.

   Hint

   Think about integration of data and modeling approaches.

6. 6.

   How would you modify the Muskingum method for a changing reservoir condition due to sedimentation over time?

   Hint

   Consider how sedimentation will affect water storage.
