• Modeling and Uncertainty Analysis of Groundwater Level Using Six Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms Hybridized with ANFIS, SVM, and ANN

  Sustainability · 2020 · 133 citations

  In the present study, six meta-heuristic schemes are hybridized with artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS), and support vector machine (SVM), to predict monthly groundwater level (GWL), evaluate uncertainty analysis of predictions and spatial variation analysis. The six schemes, including grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), cat swarm optimization (CSO), weed algorithm (WA), genetic algorithm (GA), krill algorithm (KA), and particle swarm optimizatio…

• Analysis of drought propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought under the impact of a super-large reservoir

  Journal of Hydrology Regional Studies · 2025-10-04 · 4 citations

  articleOpen access

  Hanjiang River basin, China The role of large reservoirs in modulating drought propagation is crucial for effective drought management and water resources planning. This study characterized hydrological drought events and their properties, using run theory, and analyzed correlations between the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Runoff Index (SRI) at multiple temporal scales. It assessed the impact of the reservoir on drought propagation, that involved translation rate, sens…
