Artificial Neural Networks in Hydrology

the long version

The past decade has witnessed a flurry of hydrologic research activity related to artificial neural networks (ANNs). This volume is a compilation of chapters that have been contributed by researchers from several countries, and represents a wide spectrum of ANN applications in hydrology. Future potential of ANN applications has been identified at appropriate places. Readers of the book will find chapters dealing with preliminary aspects as well as advanced features of ANNs. With a unique focus towards hydrologic applications, this book will serve as a valuable reference for graduate students, research workers, and professionals interested in learning more about this computational tool. The goal of this book is to help ANNs find greater acceptability among researchers and practising hydrologists alike.
