Question 1.
What is hydrologic routing?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how floods travel through channels.
Question 2.
What does peak attenuation refer to?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens to flood intensity over distance.
3Question 3.
What method is commonly used for hydrologic routing?
- Muskingum Method
- Fourier Method

4Question 4.
True or False: Lag time is the same as peak attenuation.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider their definitions carefully.
Question 5.
Given a scenario of a heavy rainfall event, outline how you would apply both hydrologic and hydraulic routing to manage the floods effectively.
Show hintHide hint
Think about integration of data and modeling approaches.
Question 6.
How would you modify the Muskingum method for a changing reservoir condition due to sedimentation over time?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how sedimentation will affect water storage.
