Flood Routing in Tree Type Channel Networks

This is a commendable work contributing to the development and application of a computer code for flood routing in large tree type channel networks. The computer code is validated using the asymptotic solution for the steady state GVF profile in a tree type channel network. The efficiency of the model is demonstrated by applying the model to the Ganga river network from Haridwar to Farakka barrage. The results of the computer code are also validated for small network with those obtained by an explicit model.
