Abstract	The use of the gamma distribution as an instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) for modeling runoff is simple and reasonably accurate. A simplified procedure was proposed for modeling runoff using the gamma IUH, in which the incomplete gamma function was computed indirectly, but the gamma function was computed. A further simplified procedure for runoff modeling using a gamma IUH or Nash model's IUH is proposed. This procedure does not require computation of either the gamma function or incomplete gamma function.
