Concentrated localized torrential rains due to global warming and climate change have resulted in much water damage each year. GIS is used as a tool for predicting the peak-outflows caused by these regional torrential rains in mountainous rivers. However, the research of the resolution of the data is limited, and most of approaches are about hydrological geographic. This paper estimates the flood discharge needed for decision of standard rainfall of automatic rainfall warning system by using GIS with GcIUH model, and establishes the criteria of flash flood warning. It also has analyzed the terrain in river basin, extracted the morphological characteristics parameters of water shed such as stream width, channel slope, channel length, shape factor, and GcIUH parameters, and analyzed the relationship between them.

This study aims at the derivation of representative IUH considering geomorphological factors. Nash model has been combined with geomorphological IUH to estimate the parameters of representative IUH. For this purpose, total 18 storm events which have been recorded upstream parts of Sangye control point in Bocheong river watershed, one of the tributary of Keum river basin, have been analysed. The results show that n value is 3.17 and K value is 7.01. And the results also show that IUHs driven by the method of moments vary with each storm events significantly. As a result of this study the IUH could be median distribution which is representative IUH among each storm events. It is believed that this result considered geomorphological factors is more superior and physically meaningful comparing with the existing methods.

국내에서는 빈약한 홍수량 자료로 인해 일반적으로 설계호우의 개념과 강우-유출해석을 통해 설계홍수량을 추정하여 이용하고 있다. 그러나 강수량 자료를 이용하여 강우-유출해석에 의해 유출량을 산정함으로써 설계홍수량을 추정하는 방법은 분석과정에서 불확실성이 높다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 강우-유출해석의 정확성을 높이기 위해 설계자의 주관성을 배제한 객관적인 입력변수 추정방법이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강우-유출해석을 수행하는 대신 지형인자와 기후인자로만 단위유량도 유도가 가능한 GcIUH(지형기후학적 순간단위도)를 국내 유역에 적용하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국립국토지리원에서 제공하는 1:25,000 유역도에서 추출된 최고차 하천의 길이 $L_{\Omega}$와 길이비 $R_L$를 산정하였다. GIS와 유역도로부터 산정된 각각의 $L_{\Omega}$와 $R_L$를 이용하여 지점별 단위도를 각각 유도하고, 유도된 단위도로부터 유출수문곡선을 계산하였다. 실제 지형도에 의해 산정된 GcIUH와 유역면적, 유역평균경사별 첨두유량, 그리고 첨두시간의 상관성을 비교 검토한 결과, 유역평균경사별 첨두유량이 상관성이 높게 나타났으며, 첨두시간은 유역면적이나 유역평균경사에 상관없이 비교적 정확하게 실측치와 일치하였다. 본 연구에서는 유역평균경사별 첨두유량의 상관성을 분석하여 GcIUH의 보정계수인 a를 도입하여, a 값을 유역평균경사별로 제시하였다.

This study is on the purpose of leading Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph(GcIUH) by using GIS Techniques, and estimating trigger rainfall for predicting flash flood in Seolmacheon catchment, mountain river watershed. This study leads GcIUH by using GIS techniques, calculates NRCS-CN values for effective rainfall rate, and analyzes 2011 main rainfall events using estimated GcIUH. According to the results, the case of Memorial bridge does not exceed the amount of threshold runoff, however, the case of Sabang bridge shows that simulated peak flow, approximately $149.4m^3/s$, exceeds the threshold runoff. To estimate trigger rainfall, this study determines the depth of 50 year-frequency designed flood amount as a threshold water depth, and estimates trigger rainfall of flash flood in consideration of duration. Hereafter, this study will analyze various flood events, estimate the appropriateness of trigger rainfall as well as threshold runoff through this analysis, and develop prototype of Flash Flood Prediction System which is considered the characteristics of mountain river watershed on the basis of this estimation.

A method is suggested for the reappearance of a surface runoff hudorgraph of a river basin by linking the hydrologic response of a catchment represented by the instantaneous unit hydrograph(IUH) with the Horton's empirical gemorphologic laws. The geomorphologic theory of the IUH developed by G. Itrube et al. and the geomorphoclimatic theory of the IUH developed by Bras et al. are used to derive the new hydrologic response function in consideration of geomorphologic parameters and climatic characteristics by applying to Sukekawa's rainfall-runoff model. The derived response function was tested for on some observed hydrographs in a natural watershed and showed promising, and by considering a drainage basin as m(1∼4) identical linear reservoir in series, it was founded that the model(m=2) is most applicable to predict hydrologic response regardless of the size of basins. A modelization algorithm of a basin using Sthahler's ordering scheme of drainage network will give good result in analysis of the surface runoff huydrograph by the method of this study.

This study analyzed several storm events observed in the Seolma-chun basin to derive the characteristic velocity of GIUH (Geomophological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) as well as its variability. Especially, this study focused on the variation of characteristic velocity due to the change of rainfall characteristics. The IUH of the Seolma-chun basin was derived using the HEC-1, whose peak discharge and time were then compared with those of the GIUH to derive the characteristic velocities. The characteristics velocities were analyzed by comparing with the GcIUH (Geomorphoclimatic IUH) as well as the characteristics of rainfall. Results are summarized as follows. (1) The characteristic velocity of GIUH was estimated higher with higher variability than the GcIUH, but their trends were found similar (2) Total amount of effective rainfall (or, mean effective rainfall) well explains the characteristic velocity of GIUH. This could be assured by the regression analysis, whose coefficient of determination was estimated about 0.6. (3) The duration and the maximum intensity of rainfall were found not to affect significantly on the characteristic velocity of GIUH. The coefficients of determination were estimated less than 0.3 for all cases considered. (4) For the rainfall events used in this study, the characteristic velocities of GIUH were found to follow the Gaussian distribution with its mean and the standard deviation 0.402 m/s and 0.173 m/s, respectively. Most of the values are within the range of 0.4∼0.5 m/s, and its coefficient of variation was estimated to be 0.43, much less than that of the runoff itself (about 1.0).

The objective of this study is to analyze lateral inflow hydrologically. The IUH of lateral inflow is sum of the impulse responses of total cells in basin. This IUH bases on the Muskingum channel routing method, which hydrologically re-analysed to represent it as a linear combination of the linear channel model considering only the translation and the linear reservoir model considering only the storage effect. Rectangular and triangular basins were used as imaginary basins and IUH of each basin were derived. The derived IUH have different characteristics with respect to basin's shape. The storage coefficient of lateral inflow was also derived mathematically using general definitions of concentration time and storage coefficient. As a result, the storage coefficient of lateral inflow could be calculated easily using basin's width, length and hydrological characteristics of channel.

An instantaneous unit sediment graph (IUSG) model is investigated for prediction of sediment yield from an upland watershed in Northwestern Mississippi. Sediment yields are predicted by convolving source runoff with an IUSG. The IUSG is the distribution of sediment from an instantaneous burst of rainfall producing one unit of runoff. The IUSG, defined as a product of the sediment concentration distribution (SCD) and the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH), is known to depend on the characteristics of the effective rainfall. The IUH is derived by the Nash model for each event. The SCD is assumed to be an exponential function for each event and its parameters were correlated with the effective rainfall characteristics. A sediment routing function, based on travel time and sediment particle size, is used to predict the SCD.

This paper focuses on minimizing flood damage in the Yeongdeok basin of South Korea by establishing a flood prediction model based on a geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing, and geomorphoclimatic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GcIUH) techniques. The GIS database for flash flood prediction was created using data from digital elevation models (DEMs), soil maps, and Landsat satellite imagery. Flood prediction was based on the peak discharge calculated at the sub-basin scale using hydrogeomorphologic techniques and the threshold runoff value. Using the developed flash flood prediction model, rainfall conditions with the potential to cause flooding were determined based on the cumulative rainfall for 20 minutes, considering rainfall duration, peak discharge, and flooding in the Yeongdeok basin.
