Flood Routing of Tigris River in Baiji Station and Makhoul Dam Reservoir under Supposed Operation of the Dam by Ghassan Shalan Nida Al-Shahry, Sabbar Abdullah Saleh

“…Two mathematical models were used for flood routing purpose, the first is a relationship of discharge-level to predict the level in Baiji station depended on outflow from gates, and the second is the relationship of storage-level to predict the level in the reservoir depended on storage volume when the leave of the flood wave, an algorithm and flow chart were developed to describe and explain the steps of the flood routing program, which can be modified and applied for any dam reservoir in the world, and it is used in current study, also to calculate inflow discharges then inflow volumes, either outflow discharges may assumed for eleven operating scenarios (at 11 supposed levels to receive the flood wave) and predict the equivalent level in Baiji, and the change in storage, and then the accumulated volume and the equivalent level in reservoir, when the end of flood wave. …”
