Development of Fuzzy Rules Based System for Rainfall-Runoff Modeling

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns

Abstract

The rainfall runoff process is one of the most complex and non-linear real world problems in water resources and hydrology. The same amount of precipitation could generate different runoff over the same watershed depending on, for example, soil humidity conditions. An attempt was made in this paper to develop a fuzzy rule-based routine. The main objective was to develop a fuzzy rule-based system to forecast the peak flow rate (Qmax) over a watershed for six different storm events. The developed fuzzy rule system was applied to a drainage basin in North Carolina, in which SWMM (EPA Storm Water Management Model) simulations provided training sets to develop the fuzzy rule system. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were employed to get the information on watershed characteristics. The resulting fuzzy-rule system was assessed by comparing its responses with the modeling results in EPA-SWMM 5.
