Abstract An important aspect of flood management is the estimation of catchment response to storm events by simulation of flood wave propagation through the catchment storage. A derivation of the wave speed (c) is presented in terms of discharge (Q) and the exponent (m) in the storage (S)-discharge relationship S = kQm. The wave speed-discharge relationship has the form c = (αm c/m)Q1-m, where αc is a parameter in the kinematic wave model. The parameters in this relationship, however, change with flow conditions in the cross section, especially as flow leaves the main channel to inundate the floodplain. This finding confirms that the parameters in the single storage-discharge relationship do not have discrete values as used in many runoff-routing models, and hence the use of single parameter values is not suitable for estimating floods in many situations. It is shown that a more reasonable relationship is S = Sc + k1LQ1/b, where Sc is a threshold storage, and the other parameters are functions of the flow...
