UH
Rainfall-Runoff Modeling• In many hydrologic engineering designs, we need to predict peak
discharge or hydrograph resulting from a certain type of storm event. For this purpose, some kind of rainfall-runoff model is needed to translate rainfall input to produce discharge hydrograph.
• Hydrologic rainfall-runoff models range with various degrees of sophistication. The use of a particular model depends largely on the accuracy requirement of the results, importance of the project, data availability, and fiscal constraints.
• Among many rainfall-runoff models, the unit hydrograph (UH) method received considerable use and it is still being used widely by many water resources engineers & hydrologists.
• UH for a given watershed can be derived from historical rainfall-runoff data. For watersheds having no streamflow & rainfall records, the so-called synthetic UH which relates the properties of UH to basin characteristics, must be developed.
![Page 6: Unit Hydrograph Model](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56815a17550346895dc76189/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
UH
Unit Hydrograph Model
• First proposed by Sherman (1932)
• Definition: The UH of a drainage basin is a direct runoff hydrograph (DRH) resulting from 1 unit of effective rainfall (rainfall excess) hyetograph (ERH) distributed uniformly over the entire basin at a uniform rate during a specified time period (or duration).
![Page 7: Unit Hydrograph Model](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56815a17550346895dc76189/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
UH
Basic Assumptions of UH
1. The effective rainfall is uniformly distributed within its duration
2. The effective rainfall is uniformly distributed over the whole
drainage basin
3. The base duration of direct runoff hydrograph due to an effective
rainfall of unit duration is constant.
4. The ordinates of DRH are directly proportional to the total amount
of DR of each hydrograph (principles of linearity, superposition,
and proportionality)
5. For a given basin, the runoff hydrograph due to a given period of
rainfall reflects all the combined physical characteristics of basin
(time-invariant)

UH
Criteria for Selecting Storm Events to Derive UHs
• Storms are isolated and occur individually;
• Storm coverage should be uniform over the entire watershed - watershed area should not be too large, say < 5000 km2 ;
• Storms should be flood-producing storms – ER is high, 10mm < ER < 50mm is suggested;
• Duration of rainfall should be approx. 1/5 to 1/3 of basin lag;
• The number of storm events should be at least 5.

UH
Derivation of UH (For simple ERH)
1. Analyze hydrograph and perform baseflow separation.
2. Measure the total volume of DRH in equivalent
uniform depth (EUD)
3. Find the effective rainfall such that VDRH = VERH.
4. Assume that ERHs are uniform, the UH can be derived
by dividing the ordinates of DRH by VDRH
5. The duration of the UH is the duration of ERH.
6. In rainfall-runoff analysis, the times of occurrence for DRH and ERH are commonly made identical.

UH
Derivation of UH of Different Durations• How to determine a UH of one duration from the UH of a
different duration?
• Lagging Method
Referring to Fig., if a t-hr UH, say from 1cm of ERH, is known and we wish to derive a 2t-hr UH. Since the sum of two t-hr UHs has the volume of 2 cm (or 2”), the 2t-hr UH can be obtained simply by dividing the sum of 2t-hr UHs (lagged by t-hr) by 2.
Similarly, the procedure can be used to derive the UH with a duration which is a integer multiplier of the duration of the original UH.
t’ = k t
where k = integers such as 2, 3, 4, …; and t = original UH duration. The lagging method is restrictive to develop UH whose duration is the integer multiplier of the original UH duration.

S-Curve Analysis (1)
• S-curve is a DRH (also called S-hydrograph), resulting from an infinite series of rainfall excess of one unit, say 1 cm or 1 inch with a specified duration, t.
• After te hours, the continuous rainfall producing 1 cm (or 1 inch)
of runoff every t-hr would reach an equilibrium discharge, Qe.
• The equilibrium discharge, Qe, can be computed as
where Qe – [ft3/s] ; i – [in/hr]; A – [mi2]; and t – [hr], or
where Qe – [m3/s]; i – [cm/hr]; A – [km2]; and t – [hr].

UH
S-Curve Analysis (2)
• To derive a UH of duration t’-hr from the S-curve, g(t), obtained from t-hr UH, the S-curve is shifted to the right by t’-hr. Then, the difference between the two S-curves represents the direct runoff hydrograph resulting from a rainfall excess of t’/t cm or inches. The t’-hr UH then can be easily obtained by dividing the ordinates of S-S’ by t’/t.
• Note: The S-curve tends to fluctuate about Qe. This means that the
initial UH does not represent actually the runoff at a uniform rate over time. Such fluctuations usually occur because of lack of precision in selecting UH duration. That is, the duration of the UH may differ slightly from the duration used in calculation. Nevertheless, an average S-curve can usually be drawn through the points without too much difficulty.
