Seasonal forecasting of inflows to the Carnaubal Reservoir in the Brazilian semi-arid region using artificial neural networks

Given the challenges posed by the climatic conditions of semi-arid regions that rely on reservoir-based water management policies to ensure water availability, machine learning methods have been increasingly used as tools for efficient water resources management. This study aimed to calibrate a seasonal streamflow forecasting model for the Carnaubal Reservoir, located in the semi-arid region of…
