| Abstract | In view of the stochastic nature of rainfall, wet season streamflow forecasting is an inherently difficult task. However, dry season forecasting does not suffer from this difficulty, and thus simple forecasting methods should suffice. This study shows that in the case of dry season streamflow forecasting that simple linear regression models work as well as conceptually sophisticated forecasting models. Thus, the use of the more advanced techniques which demand expensive resources in terms of computer time and expertise may not be justified, at least in the case of dry season flows. |
