Abstract
Prediction of discharge (runoff) is vital for flood control during peak periods of flow. The present work is focused on the prediction discharge using back-propagation neural network (BPNN) models. Parameters like stage (water level) have been collected on daily basis from Govindpur basins on River Brahmani to estimate discharge using BPNN model. Different architectures of models are trained and tested to predict the performance of models during June, July, and August of monsoon period for measuring discharges at the proposed station. The individual best performances for different models are found out to measure discharges during peak period of monsoon. Among June, July, and August, the model performance says the highest flow occurs during the month of July for the study period.
