LECTURE 7a
Hydrologic Routing

At the end of the week, students should

be able to:
perform hydrologic reservoir/pond
routing by storage indication method
(CO2-PO2);
Perform hydrologic channel routing
using Muskingum method (CO2-PO2);
understand the concept of attenuation
and lag (CO2-PO2).

Hydrologic Routing
Engineering procedure of tracing the movement
of water throughout a hydrologic system which
may be composed of natural streams and lakes
or man made conveyance and reservoirs in
addition to the natural channels.
Hydrologic Routing can be applied to route the
inflow hydrograph through a detention pond and
compute flows at desired ungauged locations
through the system using known flows.

Hydrologic Reservoir/Pond Routing

When flood wave flow into a reservoir, volume of

flood will distribute to the whole reservoir and
consequently the outflow will become lesser and
slower.
Outflow hydrograph will have a wider base and
lower peak when compare with inflow
hydrograph.
In normal situation when there is no “surcharge
storage”, water will discharge through sluice a s
flow in pipe.
