“…Both ANNs and fuzzy theories are state-of-the-art technologies that try to mimic the human thinking process for learning similar strategies or experiences to make optimal decisions, and are well recognized for their outstanding abilities in modeling complex nonlinear systems such as precipitation estimation/prediction (Chiang et al, 2007), streamflow forecasting (Abrahart and See, 2002;Brath et al, 2002;Chiang et al, 2004;Dawson et al, 2002;Shrestha and Nestmann, 2009;Toth, 2009), reservoir operations (Chaves and Kojiri, 2007;Hsu and Wei, 2007;Mehta and Jain, 2009;Pinthong et al, 2009), prediction of water quality parameters (Sudheer et al, 2006;Tyagi et al, 2008), and pumping operations (Chang et al, 2008;Rao et al, 2007).…”
