  • 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.

  • The sensitivity of Nash model parameters is analyzed about characteristic velocities considering geomorphological dispersion in the present study. And changing shape of IUH compared and analyzed as variation of characteristic velocities through numerical experiment. Application watersheds are selected 4 subwatersheds which are located at main stream of Bocheong basin. The mean and variance of hillslope and stream path length are estimated in each watershed with GIS. And Nash model parameters are estimated with moments of path lengths and characteristic velocities. The changing trend about IUH which is derived Nash model parameters are compared as variation of characteristic velocities. The Major results of this study are summarized as follows. The Nash model parameters sensitively present changes about hillslope characteristic velocity. And the effect of the peak discharge and shape of recession in IUH dominate with hillslope's characteristic velocity, the effect of the peak time and shape of ascension in IUH dominate with channel's characteristic velocity.

  • The synthetic unit hydrograph is developed and verified using Nash model and characteristic velocities considering geomorphological dispersion in this present study. Application watersheds are selected 5 subwatersheds of Bocheong basin. The mean and variance of hillslope and stream path length are estimated in each watershed with GIS. Characteristic velocities are calculated using estimated path lengths and moment characteristics of rainfall-runoff data. Characteristic velocities of random devised 7 ungauged watersheds are estimated through regional analysis of chracteristic velocities in guaged watershed. And Nash model parameters and IUH are derived using characteristic velocities and path length in the gauged and ungauged watershed. The result to compare of IUH about gauged watershed and random devised ungauged watershed in application watershed presents coherently hydrologic response characteristics that peak discharge is reduced and peak time is extended. In conclusion, Developed synthetic unit hydrograph in this study expects that it is useful method to estimate runoff discharge for managing of water pollution in ungauged watershed.

  • This paper presents the systematic approach to positively skewed shape of instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH), that is one of the universal features of hydrologic response function. To this end an analytical expression of statistical moments for IUH is derived within the framework of geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) theory and quantified according to the concept of hydrodynamic, geomorphologic and kinematic heterogeneity. There is a big scale difference between hillslope and channel flow path system. Although the former has the much smaller level of scale its variation coefficient tends to be higher and coefficient of skewness has the different trend than the latter. The shape of IUH is likely to be much more affected by kinematic heterogeneity rather than hydrodynamic heterogeneity and its combined effect with geomorphologic heterogeneity is the major cause of skewing hydrologic response function. Statistical features of hillslope and channel flow path can be transferred into hydrologic response function in the form of dimensionless statistics and their relative importance forms the general shape of hydrologic response function.

  • The geometric patterns of a stream network in a drainage basin can be viewed as a "fractal" with fractal dimensions. Fractals provide a mathematical framework for treatment of irregular, ostensively complex shapes that show similar patterns or geometric characteristics over a range of scale. GIUH (Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) is based on the hydrologic response of surface runoff in a catchment basin. This model incorporates geomorphologic parameters of a basin using Horton's order ratios. For an ordered drainage system, the fractal dimensions can be derived from Horton's laws of stream numbers, stream lengths and stream areas. In this paper, a fractal approach, which is leading to representation of a 2-parameter Gamma distribution type GIUH, has been carried out to incorporate the self similarity of the channel networks based on the high correlations between the Horton's order ratios. The shape and scale parameter of the GIUH-Nash model of IUH in terms of Horton's order ratios of a catchment proposed by Rosso(l984J are simplified by applying the fractal dimension of main stream length and channel network of a river basin. basin.
