Prepared with the Support of The Agency for International Development, The United States Department of State. The Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH) is derived as a function of the basin's geomorphological and physiographic characteristics. Inherent in the basin IUH is the response of the individual channels composing the basin. The response of the individual channels is derived by solving the continuity and momentum equations for the boundary conditions defined by the IUH. Both the effects of upstream and lateral inflow to the channels is taken into account in the derivation of the basin's IUH. The time to peak and peak response are used as a basis for comparison between the results produced by this model and those produced by a model where the channel's response is assumed to be an exponential distribution. The comparisons indicate that if the approach taken in this paper is indeed accurate, for example, the assumptions used do not invalidate the model, then the type of channel response used for the basin's IUH is significant, and future efforts must be directed towards parameter estimation. 2022-06-13T13:10:01Z 2022-06-13T13:10:01Z 1982-06 277 https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/143017 9625853 241172 R (Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
