While hydrologic routing relies on continuous water balance equations, hydraulic routing models unsteady open channel flow by solving the 1D Saint-Venant Equations. These equations derive from the fundamental conservation of mass and momentum: Continuity Equation: $$\frac{\partial A}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - q_l = 0$$ Momentum Equation: $$\frac{\partial Q}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(\frac{Q^2}{A}\right) + g \cdot A \cdot \left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial x} - S_0 + S_f\right) = 0$$ Where $A$ is flow area, $Q$ is discharge, $q_l$ is lateral inflow per unit length, $y$ is flow depth, $S_0$ is bed slope, and $S_f$ is friction slope $(S_f = \frac{n^2 \cdot v^2}{R^{4/3}})$. The terms represent local acceleration, convective acceleration, pressure force, gravity force, and friction force, respectively. In flat coastal river reaches (such as the Tapi and Mahanadi basins), backwater effects and tidal influence render simple hydrologic routing me...
