Streamflow Prediction

Streamflow prediction aims to accurately forecast river discharge, crucial for water resource management and flood control. Recent research heavily emphasizes the use of machine learning, particularly deep learning architectures like recurrent neural networks (RNNs), transformers, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often combined with techniques like attention mechanisms and graph neural networks to capture complex spatiotemporal dynamics. These models are being improved through methods such as domain adaptation to address data scarcity in many regions and constrained reasoning and learning to incorporate physical constraints. The resulting improvements in accuracy and uncertainty quantification enhance the reliability of streamflow predictions, supporting more informed decision-making in water resource management.
