It is often necessary to have stage discharge curve extended (extrapolated) beyond the highest (and sometimes lowest) measured discharges, for river forecasting, flood control and water supply for agricultural/industrial uses. During the floods or high stages, the river may become inaccessible...

Early forecasting of future drought conditions during continuing dry periods can improve water resources management strategies. In this study, a drought forecasting approach is developed and presented using an aggregated drought index (ADI) and artificial neural network (ANN) using a monthly...
