The rainfall-runoff relationship is one of the most complex hydrological phenomena. In recent years, hydrologists have successfully applied backpropagation neural network as a tool to model various nonlinear hydrological processes because of its ability to generalize patterns in imprecise or noisy and ambiguous input and output data sets. However, the backpropagation neural network convergence ...

Forested catchments in southeast Australia play an important role in supplying water to major cities. Over the past decades, vegetation cover in this area has been affected by major bushfires that in return influence water yield. This study tests methods for forecasting water yield after bushfire, in a forested catchment in southeast Australia. Precipitation and remotely sensed Normalized Diffe...

The ability of a watershed model to mimic specified watershed processes is assessed through the calibration and validation process. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) watershed model was implemented in the Beaver Reservoir Watershed of Northwest Arkansas. The objectives were to: (1) provide detailed information on calibrating and applying a multisite and multivariable SWAT model; (2) con...

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a semi-distributed hydrological model, has been used for the Seti-Gandaki River Basin (SGRB) to simulate streamflow. Further, SWAT was assessed study water balance of basin. This primarily focuses on different features modeling like multi-site calibration validation streamflow with view check reliability model in high precipitation basin Nepal. statist...

An assessment of hydropower potential at the watershed scale was conducted White Bandama Watershed (WBW) in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa). The method used involves application a hydrological model [Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)] coupled with Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS), denoted as QSWAT, to assess water resource availability streams determine sites for future development ...
