Abstract

We consider the system of nonlinear differential equations governing shallow water waves over a uniform or sloping bottom. By using the hodograph method we construct solutions, conservation laws, and Backlund transformations for these equations. We show that these constructions are canonical relative to a symplectic form introduced by Manin.
