The river basins and water management systems are characterized by a high degree of complexity. In order to find the best operation rules of the reservoirs during floods all other time consuming data processing (like flood wave propagation) should be simplified at maximum. For this purpose, the Genetic Programming (GP) approach was used. The GP transfer functions derived for flood propagation provide an excellent agreement with the floods propagation based on Saint Venant equations, but without time and other resources consuming. The synthetic floods of the ungauged tributaries keeping the same probability of exceedance along the main river were derived using regionalization studies. The proposed approach was tested for Sitna and Miletin river, two main tributaries of Jijia river.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
