Note that the detention basin in Problem 8.35 has a linear relationship between storage and outflow. Thus, the flood routing part of Problem 8.35 could be per­formed using either the storage-outflow or Muskingum methods (Section 6.1) or a linear storage-outflow relationship may be substituted directly into the continuity equation (Eq. 6.3) to derive a routing equation. Route the inflow hydrograph (wa­tershed runoff) in Problem 8.35 through the detention basin alternatively using (1) the storage-outflow method, (2) Muskingum method, and (3) a routing equation you develop by substituting the linear storage-outflow (S = KO) relationship into the continuity equation. These three approaches result in exactly the same outflow hydrograph.
