All of the forecasting methods with lead time = 1 and 2 were implemented in this study. It was found that back propagation method can obtain the best results during calibration period and Box-Jenkins models can get better results than multiple regression method in most of the cases. For forecasting seasonal flows by back propagation method, using one hidden layer network is enough to get quite satisfactory results. The forecasting accuracy for lead time= 2 (time units) is a little worse than that for lead time= 1 as expected UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B15645 ER -
