A hydraulic flood routing model of the Peace River, Hudson Hope to Peace Point / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 1154-C1 by F.E. Hicks, N. Yasmin and X. Chen.: R71-49/3-76E-PDF

"The objective of this study was to develop a preliminary hydraulic flood routing model of the Peace River, between the Bennett Dam, in British Columbia, and Peace Point in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta. Although Alberta Environmental Protection hydrologists have successfully developed a hydrologic flood routing model of this reach using the “SSARR” model, output from models of this type is limited to discharge hydrographs at select sites. As several of the other components of the Northern River Basins Study (NRBS) require estimates of flow parameters not available from hydrologic models, such as stage and velocity, as well as discharge hydrographs at intermediate sites, a hydraulic flood routing model was needed. An additional advantage of this hydraulic flood routing model is that it has the ability to provide for an evaluation of the effects of ice on the propagation of flood hydrographs and, being fully dynamic, it can be used to route extreme events such as dam break floods and surges resulting from ice jam releases"--Report summary.
