Flood routing and hydrograph generation (see Part 630 Hydrology, chapter 16, 2007) form the key elements of a watershed hydrologic model. Stream channels, floodplains, and reservoirs can have a significant impact on the delivery of water to any location along a stream network. Flood routing impacts the magnitude of the peak discharge, the time of the peak discharge, depth and extent of flooding, and environmental factors such as stream bank erosion, floodplain scour, sediment transport, and deposition.
