Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to propose a new geomorphologic method for deriving the complete shape of instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) in ungauged watersheds by calculating the mean travel time of excess rainfall in overland and channel segments. All required parameters for the calculations of travel time of sheet and channel flows for different hydrologic orders are determined based on geomorphologic data of a watershed. In the proposed model, IUH is obtained using the exponential probability density function (PDF) of mean travel time of possible flow paths in a watershed. In this method, the excess rainfall is determined using the National Resources Conservation Service) NRCS curve number (CN) method (SCS-CN). To investigate the performance of the proposed IUH model, it is applied for daily rainfall-runoff simulation in two separate watersheds with different climate conditions (i.e., cool-humid and semiarid) in Iran. Also, other geomorphologic IUH (GIUH) models are utilized as benchmark models f...
