Abstract
- Streamflow forecasting is of great significance for water resources planning and management. In recent years, numerous data-driven models have been widely used for streamflow forecasting. However, the traditional single data-driven model ignores the utilization of different streamflow regimes. This study proposed an integrated framework for daily streamflow forecasting based on the regime recognition of flow sequences. The framework integrates self-organizing maps (SOM) for identifying streamflow sub-sequences, the random forests (RF) algorithm to select input variables for different streamflow sub-sequences, and a deep belief network (DBN) for establishing complex relationships between the selected input variables and streamflows for different sub-sequences. Specifically, the integrated framework was applied to forecast daily streamflow at the Xiantao hydrological station in the Hanjiang River Basin, China. The results show that the developed integrated framework has higher streamflow prediction accuracy than the single data-driven model (i.e., the DBN model in this study), with Nash efficiency coefficient (NSE) of 0.91/0.81 and coefficient of determination (R<superscript>2</superscript>) of 0.93/0.89 for the integrated framework/DBN model during the validation period, respectively. Additionally, the prediction accuracy of the peak flood was also improved. The relative error of the peak flood derived from the integrated framework was reduced by 4.6%, compared with the single DBN model. Overall, the constructed integration framework, considering the complex characteristic of different flow regimes, could improve the accuracy for daily streamflow forecasting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
