A multiscale investigation of the role of variability in cross-sectional properties and side tributaries on flood routing

A multi-scale Monte Carlo simulation was performed on nine streams of increasing Horton order to investigate the role that variability in hydraulic geometry and resistance play in modifying a flood hydrograph. This study attempts to determine the potential to replace actual cross-sections along a st...
