Real-Time Food Forecasting by Employing Artificial Neural Network based Model with Zoning Matching Approach

Flood forecasting models are a necessity, as they help in planning for flood events, and thus help prevent loss of lives and minimize damage. At present, artificial neural networks(ANN)havebeensuccessfullyappliedinriverflowandwaterlevelforecasting studies. ANN requires historical data to develop a fore...
