Abstract: Shock formation may present problems in the course of kinematic cascade modelling. With regard to the choice of an adequate algorithm of solution it is therefore important to know beforehand, if discontinuities are to be expected or not. A generalized criterion including cases of time-dependent rates of rainfall excess is derived. For constant lateral inflow it can be shown to correspond to the previously derived Kibler- Woolhiser criterion.
