  2. INTRODUCTION

  3. It is necessary to develop models for simulation of the extreme or abnormal level variations in order to control future level changes_in_a_lake. Level measurements or their future equally likely replicas obtained through a simulation model are a direct way of obtaining_lake_management_decision_variable.Although it is possible to identify sophisticated models taking into consideration the hydrological and hydro meteorological variables such as the precipitation, runoff, temperature and evaporation, it is economically preferable if a model that simulates the level variations on the basis of past level records (Sen et al., 2000).

  7. Each neuron in layers j and k receives the weighted sum of outputs NET from the previous layer as input. As an example, NET for layer j is given by (1) where j = a bias, or threshold value, for neuron j, that is trainable by treating it as a weight Wj in product with an output Op set equal to 1. Each neuron in layers j and k produces its output by passing its value of through a non-linear activation function. A commonly used functional form is the logistic activation function: (2)

  8. The total error Ep, based on the squared difference between predicted and actual outputs for pattern p, is computed as (3) The goal of the training process is to present a sufficient number P of unique input-output pattern pairs, which when coupled with a suitable methodology for iterative correction of the interconnection weights, produces a final set of weights that minimizes the global error, E, defined as (4)

  11. The input combinations of lake level data evaluated in the present study are: 1) Lt-1; 2) Lt-1, Lt-2; 3) Lt-1, Lt-2, Lt-3; 4) Lt-1, Lt-2,..., Lt-4; 5) Lt-1, Lt-2, ..., Lt-5; 6) Lt-1, Lt-2, ..., Lt-6. The output layer had one neuron for current lake level Lt. Two and three-layered ANN were applied to each input combinations. The AR and MLR were also applied to the same data combinations. The results of ANN, AR and MLR were compared according to the MSE, MARE and R criteria. The MSE and MARE are defined as: (10) (11) where N and Yi denote the number of data sets and lake level data, respectively.

  16. CONCLUSIONS

  17. The ANN1 and ANN2 input nodes consisting of Lt, Lt-1,…, and Lt-6provided the best match among the combinations tried • In general, both the ANN1 and ANN2 gave better forecasts than the AR and MLR. ANN2 had better forecasting performance than the ANN1 for the all input combinations tried in the study. • Based on these results, it is clear that the ANN technique is capable of modelling a lake level fluctuation. • The study only used data from one area and further studies using more data from various areas may be required to strength these conclusions
