Flash flood early warning is an important non-structural measure for flash flood prevention in China. Also, rainfall threshold is the key for flash flood early warning. At present, the method of calculating rainfall thresholds need a large amount of meteorological and hydrological data. Meanwhile, building the hydrological model and calibrating parameters are difficult, which are not suitable for the flood control personnel. A simple and easy method, using flood peak modulus to calculate rainfall threshold, was proposed in this study based on national flash flood investigation and evaluation results. Rational equation is the basis of the calculation method. The flood peak modulus in rational equation is expressed as a ratio of the flow to watershed area. Then, the critical rainfall formula is obtained. Using the Manning formula and national investigation and evaluation results, the flood peak modulus on the condition of critical flow is obtained, and the net rainfall is calculated. Based on the research results of the scholars, three aspects about the rainfall loss calculation are considered. They are depression storage, vegetation interception and soil infiltration. The sum of the net rainfall and the rainfall loss is the critical rainfall. Considering the factors such as soil water content of watershed, the rainfall threshold was finally obtained. In order to demonstrate this method, Shuanghe catchment in Suijiang County of Yunnan Province was chosen as the study area, of which the area is 89.12 km2. The calculated concentration time was 5.2 h. Thus, the duration was estimated to be 1 h, 3 h, and 6 h. The results indicated there was a linear correlation between the net rain amount and different rainfall durations. Depression storage and canopy interception was invariant during different rainfall durations, but the infiltration was variable. For 1 h duration, initial infiltration was the main factor to consider; for 3 h, both initial infiltration and mid-term infiltration were considered; and for 6 h, steady infiltration also needed consideration besides the initial and medium-term infiltration. The calculated critical rainfall for 1 h, 3 h, and 6 h were 38.6 mm, 64.8 mm, and 96.9 mm, respectively. Rainfall thresholds of different durations for flash flood early warning were estimated on basis of critical rainfall considering three different soil moisture conditions. Under dry soil moisture condition, large rainfall loss leads to a large rainfall threshold; under wet soil moisture condition, contrary to the dry condition, small rainfall threshold is caused by small rainfall loss; and under medium soil moisture condition, the rainfall threshold was in medium. The rationality analysis on critical runoff, rainfall losses, and rainfall threshold was carried out in the end of this study. The results showed the calculated rainfall threshold by flood peak modulus method was approximated to the rainfall threshold obtained from national flash flood investigation and evaluation project. Also, they are in accord with the observed rainfall during flash flood events. Thus, the calculated results are reasonable in this study. This study provided a quick and convenient way of calculating rainfall threshold of flash flood warning for the grass root staffs and offered technical support for estimating rainfall threshold correctly.
