- Abstract
- Streams and rivers play a critical role in the hydrologic cycle with their management being essential to maintaining a balance across social, economic and environmental outcomes. Accurate streamflow predictions can provide benefits in many different ways such as water allocation decision making, flood forecasting and environmental watering regimes. This is particularly important in regional areas of Australia where rivers can play a critical role in irrigated agriculture, recreation and social wellbeing, major floods and sustainable environments. There are several hydrological parameters that effect stream flows in rivers and a major challenge with any prediction methodology, is to understand these parameter interdependencies, correlations and their individual effects. A robust methodology is, thus, required for accurate prediction of streamflow under usually unique, waterway-specific conditions using available data. This research employs an approach based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to provide this robust methodology. Data from readily available sources has been selected to provide appropriate input and output parameters to train, validate and optimise the neural network. The optimisation steps of the methodology are discussed and the predicted outputs are compared and analysed with respect to the actual collected values. © 2018 IEEE.; IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics
