Abstract
The infiltration losses along the streams of a basin are included into the Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH). The IUH is derived as a function of the basin geomorphologic and physiographic characteristics, and the response of the individual channels to upstream and lateral inflows. This response is obtained by solving the linearized continuity and momentum equations, including infiltration losses terms, for the boundary conditions established by the definition of a linear system response to an instantaneous unit input. A methodology is proposed for the estimation of the parameters involved in the channel response. Based on this result, a procedure is suggested to include infiltration losses in the common linear reservoir representation of channel segments. Comparisons indicate that this approximation is adequate
