Monthly mean reference evapotranspiration (ET <Subscript> 0 </Subscript>) is estimated using adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural network (ANN) models. Various combinations of long-term average monthly climatic data of wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and solar...</subscript>

A regional flood frequency analysis based on the index flood method is applied using probability distributions commonly utilized for this purpose. The distribution parameters are calculated by the method of L-moments with the data of the annual flood peaks series recorded at gauging sections of...

Recently, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used successfully for many engineering problems. This paper presents a practical way of predicting the hydropower energy potential using ANNs for the feasibility of adding a hydropower plant unit to an existing irrigation dam. Because the...
