Abstract: Presentation discusses a new approach to handling bottom topography in a 1D channel model that replaces the bottom slope (S0) with a smooth reference slope (SR). This method was originally proposed in Yu, C.W, B.R. Hodges and F. Liu (2020) “A new form of the Saint-Venant equations for variable topography.” Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, (in press) https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-2020-75
