Abstract
In this paper, the conservative properties of the Muskingum equation, commonly applied to solve river flood routing, are analysed. The aim of this analysis is to explain the causes ofthe mass balance error, which is observed in the numerical solutions of its non-linear form. The linear Muskingum model has been considered as a semi-discrete form of the kinematic wave equation and therefore it was possible to derive its two non-linear forms. Both forms were derived directly from the kinematic wave equation. It appeared that depending on the assumed conservative form of the Muskingum equation, this model satisfies either the global mass conservation law or the global momentum conservation law. Both laws are satisfied simultaneously by the linear equation only. The mass balance error can be eliminated from the numerical solution on condition that the non-linear Muskingum equation is written inthe proper conservative form.
