Modeling Suspended Sediment Using Artificial Neural Networks and TRMM-3B42 Version 7 Rainfall Dataset

AbstractPrediction of the sediment generated within a catchment basin is a crucial input in the management and design of water resources projects. Due to the unavailability and complexity of the precipitation and hydrological process, reliable sediment concentration is hardly predicted by applying linear and nonlinear regression methods. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the use of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM-3B42) dataset for modeling suspended sediment using neural networks (NNs) with different training functions, i.e., Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), scaled conjugated gradient (SCG), and Bayesian regulation (BR) for the Kopili River basin, India. The input vector to the various models using different algorithms were derived considering the statistical properties such as autocorrelation function, partial autocorrelation function, and cross-correlation function of the time series. The daily rainfall data from 2000 to 2010 (4,018 days) were considered for the training (70%)...
