Abstract

This study presents techniques for the estimation of parameters in flood routing method of natural channel.. The Muskingum routing method is the most widely used method of hydrologic stream channel routing. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm and Fletcher-Powell method is applied to determine parameters(K and x) of the Muskingum routing method. The results of the approach shows that Genetic Algorithm method can be one of methods to determine parameters of the Muskingum routing method. Based on the analysis for estimated parameters and the comparison with the results from observed data, the applicability of Genetic Algorithm is verified.
