7.1 GENERAL<br />

Channel routing involves generation <strong>of</strong> an outflow hydrograph for a reach where an inflow hydrograph<br />

is specified. A reach is either an open channel with certain geometrical/structural specifications,<br />

or a pipe with open channel flow. This type <strong>of</strong> application assumes that the flow is not<br />

confined, and that surface configuration, flow pattern and pressure distribution within the flow<br />

depend on gravity. It also assumes that there is no movement <strong>of</strong> the bed or banks. In addition<br />

no backwater effects are considered.<br />

A routing technique is normally required for a multi-basin design where flow is to be moved<br />

through time and space from one flow concentration point to the next. For the purposes <strong>of</strong> this<br />

manual, two types <strong>of</strong> open channels, natural and urbanized, are considered. The preferred<br />

method for most applications in Maricopa County is Normal-Depth routing. Normal-Depth routing<br />

can be used for both natural and artificial channels in both urbanized and non-urbanized watersheds.<br />

Kinematic Wave routing may be used in urbanized watersheds and for natural channels<br />

where reductions in peak discharge due to attenuation is not anticipated. The Kinematic Wave<br />

method is limited to simple prismatic channel geometrics that include non-pressurized closed<br />

conduits. Muskingum routing may be used for large natural channels where parameter calibration<br />

data exists. The Muskingum-Cunge routing may be used for both natural and artificial channels.<br />

Notes and general guidance on the parameter development and application <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these<br />

methods are provided along with a detailed example in Section 9.5.<br />
