Prediction the Groundwater Level of Bastam Plain (Iran) by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)

Prediction of the groundwater level (GWL) fluctuations is very important in the water resource management. This study investigates the potential of two intelligence models namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in the forecasting of the groundwater level of Bastam Plain in Iran. For this purpose, 9 years data-sets including hydrological and hydrogeological parameters like rainfall recharge,...
