Abstract
The applicability of artificial neural network (ANN) approaches for estimation of maximum annual flows is investigated in the paper. The performance of three neural network models is compared: multi layer perceptron neural networks (MLP_NN), generalized feed forward neural networks (GFF_NN), and principal component analysis with neural networks (PCA_NN). The proposed approaches were applied to 33 stream-gauging stations. It was found that the optimal 3-hidden layered PCA_NN method was more appropriate than the optimal MLP_NN and GFF_NN models for the estimation of maximum annual flows.
