description | Flood routing is vital in helping to reduce the impact of floods on people and communities by allowing timely and appropriate responses. In this study, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) signal decomposition technique is combined with cascade forward backpropagation neural network (CFBNN) and feed-forward backpropagation neural network (FFBNN) machine learning (ML) techniques to model 2014 floods in Ankara, Mera River. The data are split in order to avoid the underfitting and overfitting problems of the algorithm. While establishing the algorithm, 70% of the data were divided into training, 15% testing and 15% validation. Graphical indicators and statistical parameters were used for the analysis of model performance. As a result, the EMD signal decomposition technique has been found to improve the performance of ML models. In addition, the EMD-FFBNN hybrid model showed the most accurate estimation results in the flood routing calculation. The study's outputs can assist in designing flood control structures such as levees and dams to help reduce flood risk.
HIGHLIGHTS
It has been proven that machine learning techniques can be used effectively in flood routing forecasting.;
It can assist in flood management strategies and mitigation in risky areas with flood routing forecasts.;
Signal separation techniques have been shown to increase the success of flood translation estimation.;
The EMD-FFBNN hybrid model showed the most accurate results in flood routing calculation.; |
