      Surface waves moving at a speed near some critical value on a viscous fluid flow down an incline are studied. An inhomogeneous equation of the Burger type is derived as a model equation for the long time evolution of the surface waves, when the shear tress on the free surface and the deviation of the uneven bottom from an inclined plane are prescribed. A soliton-like wave and a shock-like front generated ahead of or behing a moving source on the free surface are discovered.
