What is flood routing and why is it important?
"Flood routing" is the process of determining how a flood wave travels through a network of rivers or streams and attenuates. It involves modeling the downstream movement of floodwaters in order to understand the distribution of flood peaks and assess possible effects on various riverbank locations.
Creating effective flood control plans, such as strategies for floodplains, plans for reservoir management, and designs for levees, requires following this process.
Flood routing predicts the location and timing of flood peaks, enabling early warning systems and timely responses to flooding incidents.
This proactive approach is essential to preventing community damage from flooding and maintaining infrastructure.
