Computational Intelligence in Rainfall-Runoff Modeling

The transformation from precipitation over a river basin to river streamflow is the result of many interacting processes which manifest themselves at various scales of time and space. The resulting complexity of hydrological systems, and the difficulty to properly and quantitatively express the information that is available about them, determine...

Multiobjective training of artificial neural networks for rainfall-runoff modeling

This paper presents results on the application of various optimization algorithms for the training of artificial neural network rainfall-runoff models. Multilayered feed-forward networks for forecasting discharge from two mesoscale catchments in different climatic regions have been developed for this purpose. The performances of the...
