Item Fuzzy logic modeling for groundwater level forecasting of west coast region in India(2011) Dandagala, D.; Deka, P.C.Forecasting the groundwater table in unconfined aquifer is essential for efficient planning of conjunctive use in a basin. In this study, fuzzy logic (FL) models have been developed for groundwater level forecasting in west coast humid region of Karnataka state, India. The FL modeling was carried out to forecast the groundwater table by one week lead time at three different sites over the study area. Mamdani fuzzy inference system was adopted in the present study and finally centroid of area defuzzification method has been applied to obtain crisp output. The results concluded that the FL model performed quite satisfactorily as assessed by various performance indices such as Root mean square error, Coefficient of correlation, and Mean absolute error. © 2011 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

The focus of the present study is on the application of Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Non Linear auto-regressive with exogenous variable (NARX) data driven models to forecast groundwater level for multiple input scenario's and also multiple lead time. Weekly time series groundwater level data has been used as input and the models are developed to forecast one, two, three, four, five and sixth week ahead. Root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (Cc) are used for evaluating the accuracy of the models. Based on the comparison of results, it was found that the RBF models are superior to the NARX models in forecasting groundwater level considering RMSE and Cc. The obtained result indicates that the RBF has high performance and consistent upto fourth week lead time and decaying performance for NARX models. Hence, RBF and NARX have the potential in forecasting groundwater level efficiently for multi step lead time. © 2011 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

To improve the model performance a wavelet transformation is attached prior to a predictor (ANN) and then analysis has been carried out. Here the wavelet transformation is used to decompose the original significant wave height (Hs) data into its sub signals in the form of approximation coefficients and detail coefficients. Further, these coefficients were fed to ANN as inputs and targets and the results obtained from the hybrid model are then reconstructed to obtain the predicted significant wave heights. The predicted results from the proposed model were compared with the single ANN results. From the results, it is concluded that the proposed model is working efficiently for predicting time series data, and also the error observed at the higher lead time was very less as compared to the single ANN. The effect of decomposition level is also analysed in thisstudy and their influence was observed significantly in the higher lead time forecasting. © 2011 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.Item Discrete wavelet neural network approach in significant wave height forecasting for multistep lead time(2012) Deka, P.C.; Prahlada, R.Recently Artificial Neural network (ANN) was extensively used as non-linear inter-extrapolator for ocean wave forecasting as well as other application in ocean engineering. In this current study, the Wavelet transform was hybridised with ANN naming Wavelet Neural Network (WLNN) for significant wave height forecasting near Mangalore, west coast of India, upto 48 h lead time. The main time series of significant wave height data were decomposed to multiresolution time series using discrete wavelet transformations. Then, the multiresolution time series data were used as input of the ANN to forecast the significant wave height at different multistep lead time. It was shown how the proposed model, WLNN, that makes use of multiresolution time series as input, allows for more accurate and consistent predictions with respect to classical ANN models. The proposed wavelet model (WLNN) results revealed that it was better forecasted and consistent than single ANN model because of using multiresolution time series data as inputs. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The flow regime dominated by high data non-stationary and seasonal irregularity due to Himalayan climate fallout. The influence of data preprocessing through wavelet transforms has been investigated. For this, the main time series of flow data were decomposed to multi resolution time series using discrete wavelet transformations. Then these decomposed data were used as input to Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for multiple lead time flow forecasting. Various types of wavelets were used to evaluate the optimal performance of models developed. The forecasting accuracy of the models has been tested for multiple lead time upto 4 days using different decomposition levels. The performance of the proposed hybrid model has been evaluated based on the performance indices such as root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of efficiency (CE) and mean relative error (MRE).The results shows the better forecasting accuracy by the proposed combined hybrid model over the single ANN model in hydrological time series forecasting. © 2012 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.Item Evaluating the Performance of CHIRPS Satellite Rainfall Data for Streamflow Forecasting(Springer Netherlands rbk@louisiana.edu, 2019) Sulugodu, B.; Deka, P.C.Streamflow forecasting can offer valuable information for optimal management of water resources, flood mitigation, and drought warning. This research aims in evaluating the effectiveness of CHIRPS satellite rainfall data in comparison with IMD gridded Rainfall Data and development of various flow forecasting models. Daily rainfall data for three decades (1983–2012) over the Nethravathi Basin, Karnataka, India is used for analysis. The analysis is carried out for the monsoon season (June–September), out of which 70% data considered for training the model and remaining for testing. Different input combinations are developed, and soft-computing methods like ANFIS, GRNN, PSO-ANN, and ELM are applied for flow forecasting on a temporal scale. The model performance is evaluated using various statistical indices like NNSE, RRMSE, and MAE. The results indicate that CHIRPS rainfall showed better performance in comparison with IMD data. ELM expressed an enhanced effect when compared to all other methods. The usefulness and effectiveness of CHIRPS data compared to IMD data has been explored. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.
