AbstractThis research work investigates the B-spline neural network approach to daily river flow forecasting. The model is built using combinations of univariate basis functions. The network's weights are computed through analytical method. This research work also investigates the forecasting ability of the B-spline networks in the long and short forecast horizon. In order to make an objective evaluation of the said networks, backpropagation network model for comparison purpose. Simulations are conducted using daily stream discharge and rainfall data to test the model for its forecasting ability. The model investigated here is found to give efficiency index greater than 90% in all three cases viz. lead time one day, two days and three days. The same data sets run on backpropagation give efficiency index of nearly 90%.
