Abstract
The computer model of low-flow routing for the Brazos River was developed for the prediction of low flow at various accounting points on the river based upon the known flow variables existing in and near the river at the initial time of the prediction period and assuming no precipitation during the prediction period. Two basic flow components were considered in the model. These were a lateral-inflow component and a tributary-inflow component. The flow variables accounted for by the two components were bank flow, bed seepage, evaporation, transpiration, diversions, return flows and tributary inflows. A new routing method was developed for the model which gave reasonably good results for the Brazos River between Palo Pinto and Glen Rose, Texas, when taking into consideration the large number of initial assumptions related to flow data made necessary by the lack of such data.
