Abstract
A recursive-iterative algorithm to solve the equation for one-dimensio nal gradually varied steady flow in a canal network is developed. The recursion is used to sweep up and down the network, whereas iterations are used to obtain convergence for the discharge distribution at cana l junctions. The convergence characteristics of different discharge up dating techniques are discussed. The application of the algorithm is d emonstrated through eight test problems on two networks, by starting t he computations from different initial guesses of discharge distributi on in the network.
