Published on by Mrinmoy Majumder, Associate Professor at National Institute of Technology Agartala for Baipatra : Aim for Sustainability
Flood routing is a crucial aspect of hydrology that involves the study of how water flows through river systems during periods of heavy rainfall or flooding. It plays a vital role in predicting and managing flood events, as well as understanding the potential impact on surrounding areas. By analyzing various factors such as river slope, channel characteristics, and precipitation patterns, flood routing helps to determine the rate at which water travels downstream and how it may affect different locations along the river.
This online tutorial will help you learn about the basics of Flood Routing,different methods of hydrologic and hydraulic routing,Clark IUH generation and Nash Hydrograph Generation etc. synthetic methods etc. All the methods are explained with examples. This book is suitable for Graduate and Post Graduate Engineers who are interested to get a basic knowledge regarding the flood routing methods.
This book is available for download from Innvates Gumroad Shop but you can download it for free if you are a paid member of HydroGeek or Baipatra VSC.
