Abstract
In this research, k-means, agglomerative hierarchical clustering and regression analysis have been applied in hydrological real time series in the form of patterns and models, which gives the fruitful results of data analysis, pattern discovery and forecasting of hydrological runoff of the catchment. The present study compares with the actual field data, predicted value and validation of statistical yields obtained from cluster analysis, regression analysis with ARIMA model. The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models is investigated for monthly runoff forecasting. The different parameters have been analyzed for the validation of results with casual effects. The comparison of model results obtained by K-means & AHC have very close similarities. Result of models is compared with casual effects in the same scenario and it is found that the developed model is more suitable for the runoff forecasting. The average value of R2 determined is 0.92 for eight ARIMA models. This shows more accuracy of developed ARIMA model under these processes. The developed rainfall runoff models are highly useful for water resources planning and development.
