Abstract

This study was conducted in catchment area of Baitarani River at Jaraikela, situated in Eastern India. The Baitarani River is one of the most important rivers in the eastern region of peninsular India, which later joins the Bay of Bengal. This region frequently experiences floods due to its erratic rainfall patterns and climatic conditions, which makes runoff prediction important for planning better watershed management techniques and mitigation strategies. To simulate rainfall-runoff process, SVM model integrated with Whale Optimisation Algorithm (WOA) method has been used. WOA enhances the results by reducing the error margin in SVM. For this purpose, 48 years (1981–2020) of statistical data have been used for calibration, validation and testing of the model. The results show that the hybrid SVM-WOA model outperforms the classical SVM model in terms of forecasting accuracy and efficiency based on root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NE) performance evaluation measures.
