Easy to understand

really liked the stream routing exercise - made the routing concept much clearer!

This is a nice module for those who would like to know bit more about how they calculate stream flow and for those who are interested in studying streams and the water shed. It is a little more technical than the other modules that I have taken so far, but it is still easy to understand.

This module fits in nicely with the rest of the modules in the "Basic Hydrologic Sciences Distance Learning Course". It never gets too technical on a specific area, but instead moves progressively to cover the bigger picture. There were a few areas I felt that jumped around a little bit, and could of used a better example to hammer home the points. Specifically the prism and wedge technique. I am still uncertain exactly how they fit into the two hydrologic equations discussed in the module.

• Demonstrate an understanding of the streamflow routing process
• Define streamflow routing:
  • Interpret stage and discharge graphs
  • Describe applications of streamflow routing
  • Explain how streamflow routing fits into the flood prediction process
  • Describe the major approaches used in streamflow routing
• Describe the storage-release concept and the accounting budget approach
• Describe flow categories and impact on the choice of routing method
• Define common terms used to describe physical characteristics of streams
• List the factors used in determining streamflow velocity and discharge via Manning’s equation
• Use rating curves to determine the stage-discharge relationship, i.e., the expected discharge for a given depth of water at a given point for a given period
• Explain concepts used in streamflow routing:
  • Describe how routing process is applied in river forecasting
  • Explain how storage concept is applied in routing
  • Describe wedge and prism storage approach as applied in the Muskingum method
• Apply the Lag and K method for streamflow routing
• Identify how hydraulic routing methods differ from hydrologic methods:
  • Describe when one might choose to use hydraulic over hydrologic methods
