===Routing Method===
TR20 has two different routing methods to choose from. If [[WMS:TR-20 Defined Cross Sections|cross-sectional data]] is available it can be used to establish routing parameters using a “m-value” method. If the cross-section data are not available a [[WMS:TR-20 Kinematic Wave|Kinematic wave method]] may be used instead. The method for each outlet is determined by the radio group selection.

Outlet points are used to define locations where hydrographs are combined and then routed downstream. The appropriate combined hydrograph (ADDHYD records) stations are generated automatically when writing a TR20 file. However, routing data must be entered in order to simulate the movement of a flood wave through the river reaches or reservoirs. The effects of storage and flow resistance are accounted for in the shape and timing of the flood wave.

Routing data is entered by selecting an outlet and then selecting the Routing Data button from the Edit TR20 Parameters dialog.

Routing Method

TR20 has two different routing methods to choose from. If cross-sectional data is available it can be used to establish routing parameters using a “m-value” method. If the cross-section data are not available a Kinematic wave method may be used instead. The method for each outlet is determined by the radio group selection.
