Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Models for River Flow ForecastingKassahun Birhanu Tadesse, Megersa Olumana Dinka, Tena Alamirew, Semu Ayalew MogesReservoir operation policies cannot be functional in instant decision making without forecasting the future reservoir inflows. For forecasting inflows into reservoirs with only hydrological data is available like Koga irrigation dam, multivariate forecasting models cannot be used to generate accurate river flow information. As a result, an evaluation of univariate Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models was done for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2017 · 7,885 accessesView PDF Cite
