Summary. Characteristic methods are known to handle advective flow better than traditional Galerkin methods and allow large time steps to be taken when compared to standard time-stepping methods. In this paper, we investigate a characteristic-Galerkin approximation to the 2-dimensional system of shallow water equations. We derive ${\cal L}^{\infty}\left ((0,T);{\cal L}^2(\Omega)\right )$ bounds for elevation and velocity, showing these to be optimal for velocity in ${\cal L}^2\left ((0,T);{\cal H}^1(\Omega)\right )$ .
