Abstract
Although sophisticated simulation modelling of rivers in flood based on the full Saint Venant equations is now common the approximate methods for flood routing have value for teaching and rapid calculations. A non-linear theory for flood routing is developed that respects the behaviour of floods in rivers with extensive flood plans. A review of other approximate methods is also included.
