Abstract: The chapter begins with the basic definitions and nomenclature used in open channel hydraulics and applied in the book. In the next sections the governing equations for flow and transport are derived, including unsteady gradually varied flow equations, steady gradually varied flow equations, storage equation and advection-diffusion mass and heat transport equations. All equations are derived from general equations of conservation by their simplifications to the one dimensional form. In the last section overview of the types of equations occurring in open channel hydraulics is presented.
