Is it true that flood wave propagation speed can be estimated using the kinematic wave approximation?

Yes. Flood wave propagation and routing can be effectively estimated using the kinematic wave approximation, which is widely utilized in hydrological and hydraulic modeling.

The analysis

Papers [6] and [9] explicitly discuss and evaluate the kinematic wave approximation/model for channel routing and flood wave estimation. Paper [6] highlights its common use in describing channel and overland flow, while Paper [9] implements and analyzes the kinematic wave approximation for flood routing. Therefore, the claim is supported by the literature.
