A geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) model was developed for a watershed of Damodar valley corporation, Hazaribagh, using Nash (1959) and Itrube (1982) methods to compute peak discharge (qpeak) and time to peak (tpeak). The model was calibrated and validated for five storm events, i.e. June 24-25 (1992), October 12-13 (1993), November 2-3 (1993), June 28 (1994) and August 6 (1996) by comparing their ordinates with the ordinates of instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH). The GIUH was tested with absolute prediction errors (APE) of the ordinate of peak discharge. On comparison, it was found that, most of the GIUH models overestimated the runoff at initial stage, while underestimated at the latter stage in comparison to the IUHs, which was mainly due to consideration of const ant value of Ф-index, for computation of effective rainfall. The absolute prediction errors (APE) were computed to be 5.97, 18.09, 23.32, 9.64 and 7.52% of the ordinates of peak discharge for the storm events of June 24-25 (1992), October 12-13 (1993), November 2-3 (1993), June 28 (1994) and August 6 (1996) respectively.
