| Zusammenfassung |
| The theory of the geomorphological unit hydrograph (GUH) is
examined critically and it is shown that the inherent assumption that the operation of the
drainage network may be modelled by a corresponding network of linear reservoirs so
restricts the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) shape that the effects of further
restrictions, reflecting the constraints imposed by the geomorphological laws of the
channel network, cannot easily be identified. Without such identification, the
geomorphological unit hydrograph theory is untestable and must remain only a plausible
hypothesis providing an indication of a two-parameter IUH whose shape and scale factors
must still be related empirically to appropriate catchment characteristics. |
