چکیده

In flood management it is important to reliably estimate the discharge in a river. Hydrologists use historic data to establish a rating curve – a relationship between the water level (stage) and discharge. ANN and M5 model trees were used to reconstruct this relationship on an example of an Indian river. The predictive accuracy of these machine learning methods models was found to be superior to a conventional rating curve.

Neural networks and M5 model trees in modelling water level-discharge relationship

Reliable estimation of discharge in a river is the crucial component of efficient flood management and surface water planning. Hydrologists use historical data to establish a relationship between water level and discharge, which is known as a rating curve. Once a relationship is established it can be used for predicting discharge from future measurements of water level only. Successful applicat...
