Flow Routing

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

As the hydrograph travels, it attenuates gets delayed

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
