Apply river routing

Apply river routing using any of the provided methods. The function takes HS object with runoff timeseries as an input. See details.

accumulate_runoff(
  HS,
  routing_method = c("instant", "constant"),
  ...,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

HS	A 'HS' object obtained by interpolate_runoff
routing_method	Character string specifying the method to be used.
...	Arguments passed to the routing algorithm, and to river_network, if it has not been run already.
verbose	Whether or not to print progress information. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

Returns the input object HS) with an added list column discharge_ts containing routed discharge estimates for each river segment.

Details

There are currently two routing algorithms implemented: 'instant'aneous flow, where all runoff is routed through the entire river network at every timestep. There is no lag in instantaneous routing, which means it may not be reasonable for large river networks. 'constant' velocity river routing routes runoff down the river network with a constant, user specified velocity. See further details from the documentation of each method:

• accumulate_runoff_instant

• accumulate_runoff_constant
