CORRELATING STREAM GAUGING STATIONS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract

The present work aims at correlating stream gauging stations along river Krishna of the state of Maharashtra, India using Artificial Neural Networks. For this ANN models were developed with stream flow at the upstream stations(s) as inputs and stream flow at the downstream station as output. All the models show excellent results and prove the ability of ANNs to offer solutions with limited amount of data. The models will be useful to develop a decision support system for the downstream locations especially in case of flood events.
