    Discrete wavelet-Ann approach in time series flow forecasting-a case study of Brahmaputra river
    (2012) Deka, P.C.; Haque, L.; Banhatti, A.G.
    This paper deals with the prediction of hydrologic behavior of the runoff for the one of the largest discharge carrier International River, Brahmaputra, located in Assam (India) at the Pandu station, by using daily time unit. 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.

    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.

    Performance enhancement of SVM model using discrete wavelet transform for daily streamflow forecasting
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Kambalimath S, S.; Deka, P.C.
    Streamflow modeling becomes a vital task in any hydrological study for an improved planning and management of water resources. Soft computing and machine learning techniques are becoming popular day by day for their predictive capability when limited input data are available. In the present study, Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique is applied to forecast 1-day, 3-day, and 5-day ahead streamflow using daily streamflow time-series of Khanapur, Cholachguda, and Navalgund gauging stations in Malaprabha sub-basin located in the Karnataka state of India. Furthermore, Discrete Wavelet Transform is used as a data pre-processing method to evaluate the performance enhancement of SVM model, for which four different mother wavelet functions are used and tested separately, namely, Haar, Daubechies, Coiflets, and Symlets. Models are evaluated using coefficient of determination (R2), root-mean-square error, and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency. The study indicates that the performance of SVM model improves considerably when wavelet method is coupled. It is found that the R2 values for Khanapur station using SVM are 0.91, 0.66, and 0.46 for 1-day, 3-day, and 5-day lead-time forecasts, respectively. However, when wavelet method is coupled with SVM model, the R2 is improved to 0.99, 0.73, and 0.68 for 1-day, 3-day, and 5-day lead-time forecasts, respectively. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE part of Springer Nature.
