5. (a) With respect to hydrograph routing, explain the underlying difference between "river routing" and "level pool routing". [3 Marks] (b) A dam is to be constructed to form a new reservoir. The dam spillway is 35m in length and has a crest elevation of 57.4 m. The spillway outflow (O) can be calculated from: 0 = 1.7Lh'', where is in m'/sL is the spillway length (m) and his depth of water above spillway crest (m). Table 1 shows the routing curve data for the reservoir.
