Abstract

This paper deals with the application of the conceptual Tank Model and the data-driven artificial neural networks approaches to simulate the rainfall-runoff process in the catchment area of the Japaratuba river, Sergipe. A four-tank setup and eleven types of neural networks are tested. The results indicate that seven neural models are more efficient than the Tank Model, but that the latter also achieves suitable performance.
