Abstract:
A numerical model has been developed for the solution of the kinematic wave equation for a one-dimensional catchment, using the Lax-Wendroff technique. The model has been verified by comparing its solutions with some analytical solutions already available. Certain catchment parameters have been identified and the model applied with promising results to two actual catchments to ascertain their values.
