A New Practical Method on Hydrological Calculation

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) deal with information through interactions among neurons (or nodes), approximating the mapping between inputs and outputs based on non-linear functional composition. They have the advantages of self-learning, self-organizing, and self-adapting. It is practical to use ANN technology to carry out hydrologic calculations. To this end, this note has fundamentally set up a system of calculation and analysis based on ANN technology, given an example of application with good results. It shows that ANN technology is a relatively effective way of solving problems in hydrologic calculation.
