Continuity equation for hydrologic routing Contd..
Rate change of flow storage can be also represented by this following equation:
Change in storage
Change in time
Even if the inflow hydrograph, I(t) is known, this equation cannot be solved directly
to obtain the outflow hydrograph, Q(t), because both Q and S are unknown. A
second relation, the storage function is needed to relate S, I, and Q. The particular
form of the storage equation depends on the system: a reservoir or a river reach.
