Objectives of the study
The objective of this paper is to develop a real-time unit hydrograph (UH) optimization method utilizing the K-NN in combination with meta-heuristic algorithm. The K-NN algorithm is utilized as a recommendation model, which realizes the selection of rainfall-runoff samples for UH analysis based on the real-time rainfall process, characterized as storm centroid, net rainfall intensity, and the net rainfall temporal patterns. Then the metaheuristic algorithm is used to build a calibration model to achieve the optimization calibration of instantaneous UH.
