Flood routing is one of the very important basic topics that is dealt with in the first course in hydrology. To illustrate the solution of the Muskingum method requires the computation of K and X, Which are usually obtained using the graphical approach. Similarly, reservoir routing requires a storage function, and a semigraphical approach is adopted. The hydraulic method of routing of flood requirs a knowledge of the soulution of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. In this paper, spreadsheet of LOTS 1–2‐3 has been used to demonstrate its potential as a pedagogical tool for solving flood routing problems for both the hydrological and hydraulic approaches.
