In this study, practical and physical interpolation techniques were proposed to obtain a nonlinear instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) for diverse rainfall intensities in a watershed. The interpolation was achieved by using mass conservation law and power-law relationships between rainfall intensities and peak flow and time to peak of IUHs. The proposed technique was successfully applied to three real watersheds and the prediction results showed high accuracy.
The traditional instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) is very useful for theoretical analysis and practical forecasting of floods owning to its linear assumptions. Although various revised methods to overcome the unphysical assumptions have been proposed, it is still difficult to obtain efficiently a nonlinear IUH of diverse rainfall excess intensities in a watershed. In this study, we proposed practical and physical interpolation techniques to derive new IUHs from at least two existing IUHs corresponding to diverse rainfall excess intensities in a watershed. To interpolate the new IUHs, mass conservation law and power-law relationships between rainfall excess intensities and the peak flow and time to peak of IUHs were used. By employing convolution integration, surface rainfall-runoff hydrographs for timely varying rainfall events were derived. For verification, we applied the proposed technique to three real watersheds with different sizes ranging from 0.036 to 1,047 km(2). All flood prediction procedures were completed instantly, stably and the prediction results showed the accuracy of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) = 0.55-0.93 and coefficient of determination (R-2) = 0.72-0.94.
