    Flood Routing Example

    This document describes flood routing in a reservoir using the Modified Puls method. It provides the reservoir's storage-elevation curve, inflow hydrograph, and equations for continuity and routing calculations. The algorithm calculates outflow and reservoir elevation at each time step using the continuity equation and lookup curves. Applying the method routes the flood through the reservoir, producing the outflow hydrograph and graph of reservoir water level over time.
