AB A general scheme for analysing reductions of Whitham hierarchies is presented. It is based on a method for determining the S-function by means of a system of first-order partial differential equations. Compatibility systems of differential equations characterizing both reductions and hodograph solutions of Whitham hierarchies are obtained. The method is illustrated by exhibiting solutions of integrable models such as the dispersionless Toda equation (heavenly equation) and the generalized Benney system.
