FLOOD ROUTING
Flood Routing
• We may have to find the magnitude of flood and flood hydrograph parameters at a particular space due to flood at another space or at same space– Of course both the spaces are hydrologically
connected– The space may be very nearer also
• Upstream to downstream of a reservoir – storage is large• One section of the river to another section of the river –
long distance
– This way of finding the hydrologic route of flood from one space to another space is called flood routing
Flood Routing (contd…)
• The flood hydrograph is in fact a wave– The Stage-discharge relationship represent the
passage of waves – As this waves moves down the river
• The shape of wave gets modified– Channel storage – Resistance– Lateral addition/withdrawal
• When the flood passes through a reservoir– The peak is attenuated– Time base is enlarge
» Due to effect of storage
Flood Routing (Contd…)• Thus the main purpose of reservoir flood routing
is to safely dispose the flood magnitude by reducing the peak and increasing the base time.
• Determination of flood hydrograph at a river section– By utilizing the data of flood flow at one or more
upstream sections
• Flood routing is more useful in:– Flood forecasting– Flood protection– Reservoir design– Spillway design
Applications (Types of flood routing)
• Reservoir Routing
• Channel Routing
Reservoir Routing• To predict the variations of reservoir elevation
and outflow discharge with time– Study the effect of a flood wave entering a reservoir
• Volume-elevation characteristic of reservoir• Outflow-elevation relationship for the spillways and other
outlets
• Reservoir Routing is Essential– Design of the capacity of spillway/other reservoir
outlets– Location and sizing of the capacity of reservoirs to
meet specific requirements
Channel Routing
• Change in shape of Hydrograph as it travels down a channel is studied
– To predict the flood hydrograph at various sections of the reach
– Information on the flood-peak attenuation and the duration of high-water levels
• Flood forecasting• Flood protection• Flood operations
Classification of Routing
• Hydrologic Routing – employs the continuity equation
• Hydraulic Routing - employs the continuity equation together with the momentum equation of unsteady flow– St. Venant Equations
Flood Routing
Hydrologic Routing Hydraulic Routing
(Based on Continuity Equation) Based on Momentum equation
Reservoir Routing Channel Routing
• The change in storage is the difference between the inflow and outflow
I is Inflow, Q is outflow and S is the storage
• In a small time interval (Δt)
I is average Inflow, Q is average outflow during the time interval
• If storage at beginning is S1 and at end is S2 during time Δt
In this time interval the hydrograph is linear and is smaller than the transit of the flood wave through the reach.

Data required for reservoir routing
• Storage volume vs elevation for the reservoir
• Water-surface elevation vs outflow and hence storage vs outflow discharge
• Inflow hydrograph, I = I (t)
• Initial values of S, I and Q at time t = 0
Methods for Flood Routing Through a Reservoir
• Modified Pul’s Method
• Goodrich Method
• Standard Fourth – Order Runge-Kutta Method (SRK)
Goodrich MethodSemi-graphical Method
• On rearranging equation 3
• On collecting known and initial values
• In the above equation the starting inflow and end inflow at time period t is known (read it from the inflow hydrograph), and the initial storage and discharge is also known
• Then estimate the value remember both are unknown quantities

Contd….• To know the discharge, we need a graph between elevation Vs
– Thus called as semi graphical method
– This quantity is called storage-elevation-discharge data
• The graph gives the relationship between discharge and elevation– From graph estimate the elevation
– From elevation estimate the discharge

Is flood routing is too confusing
• The following problem will help to understand this method

1. The peak discharge magnitude is reduced, this is called attenuation.
2. The peak of outflow gets shifted and is called as lag
3. The difference in rising limb shows the reservoir is storing the water
4. The difference in receding limb shows the reservoir is depleted.
5. When the outflow is through uncontrolled spillway, the peak of outflow always occurs at point of inflection of inflow hydrograph and also is the point at which the inflow and outflow hydrograph intersect.

Hydrologic Channel Routing
• In reservoir routing storage was a unique function of the outflow discharge, S = f(Q)
• Here, Storage is a function of both outflow and inflow discharges
• Therefore different routing method needed
• River flow during floods belongs to the category of gradually varied unsteady flow
• Water is not only parallel to the channel bottom, but also varies with time
Total Volume of Storage in a channel during flood
• Prism Storage: vol. that would exist if uniform flow occurred at the downstream depth
= function (outflow)
• Wedge storage: wedge like vol. formed between the actual water surface profile and the top surface of the prism storage
= function (inflow)
• The total storage in the channel is given by:
mm QxxIKS 1 …..9
K, and x are coefficients and m-is a constant
Muskingum Equation• One of the most popular channel routing
• Uses the hydrologic spatially lumped form of the continuity equation
• First applied to Muskingum river in Ohio state, USA
• Tributary of Ohio river
• Length 179 km (111 mi )• Basin area 20,852 km² (8,051 mi² )
Muskingum Equation (Contd…)• Using m =1.0, equation 9. reduces to a linear relationship
for S in terms of I and Q as
• x – weighting factor varies bet. 0 to 0.5
• When x = 0, storage function is discharge only– Linear storage or linear reservoir– x = 0.5 both inflow and outflow are equally imp. In determining
storage– K – storage-time constant ~ time of travel of a flood wave
through the channel reach

Estimation of K and x
• Like reservoir routing in channel routing also we can draw inflow-outflow hydrograph through a channel reach
• The increment in storage at any time t due to a small time period t can be calculated.
• The summation of the various incremental storage gives us the channel storage Vs time relationship

Estimation of K and x (contd…)
• Once this storage Vs time is known for a reach
• Assume a value of x and estimate for various time intervals
• Draw the graph between the storage and if the assumed x is correct we will get a linear line, else a loop will be formed
• By trial and error find the value of x until a straight line is formed
• Inverse slope of the line will give the value of K
Let us see how to estimate this using an example
