Flood Routing
Water
A process of determining progressively over time the amplitude of a flood wave as it moves past a dam or downstream to successive points along a river or stream.
The determination of the elevation of a given flood at discrete points along a watercourse taking into account obstructions and the attenuating effect of storage on the flood as it passes through a valley, channel or reservoir. Usually expressed as a series of hydrographs.
