What is Routing in Civil Engineering and Reserve Routing?

In Hydrology, Routing is a technique used to predict the changes in the shape of a hydrograph as water moves through a river channel or a reservoir. If the water flow at a particular point, A, in a stream is measured over time with a flow gauge, this information can be used to create a hydrograph.
Reservoir routing involves the application of the continuity equation to a storage facility in which the storage volume for a particular geometry is dependent only on the outflow.

What is Muskingum Routing?

The Muskingum routing procedure is used for systems that have Storage - Discharge relationships that are hysteretic. That is, for systems for which the outflow is not a unique function of storage.
