Abstract
The necessity of long-term dam inflow forecast has been recognized for many years. Despite numerous studies, the accurate long-term dam inflow prediction is still a challenging task. This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based model and evaluates the applicability of categorical rainfall forecast for improvement of monthly dam inflow prediction. In order to obtain appropriate ANFIS model configuration for dam inflow prediction, several models were trained and tested using various numbers of input variables i.e. monthly observed rainfall, relative humidity, temperature, dam inflow and categorical monthly rainfall forecast. The ANFIS based models were configured and evaluated for six major dams of South Korea i.e. Andong, Chungju, Daecheong, Guesan, Soyang and Sumjin having high, medium and low reservoir capacity. The results showed significant improvement in dam inflow prediction for all the selected dams using the ANFIS based model with categorical rainfall forecast compared to the ANFIS based model with only preceding month’s dam inflow and weather data.
