Sustainable water resources management requires long time series of streamflow data. In this study, a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy rule-based (FRB) model is developed to reconstruct long periods of missing daily streamflow data which is a common problem in developing countries. The FRB model uses observations of neighbouring stream gauges, and thus is advantageous regarding data and time requirement compared to physical models. With the proper set of inputs, the FRB model provides better estimates than the hydrological model at two of the studied four stream gauges in the Meric-Ergene Basin. Filling long data-gaps with FRB models will facilitate the development of realistic water management strategies.

Estimation of river flow by artificial neural networks and identification of input vectors susceptible to producing unreliable flow estimates
Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-15)
Reliable river flow estimates are crucial for appropriate water resources planning and management. River flow forecasting can be conducted by conceptual or physical models, or data-driven black box models. Development of physically-based models requires an understanding of ail the physical processes which impact a natural process and the interactions among them. Since identification of the relationships among these physical processes is very difficult, data-driven approaches have recently been utilized in h...
Toward predicting climate change effects on lakes: a comparison of 1656 shallow lakes from Florida and Denmark reveals substantial differences in nutrient dynamics, metabolism, trophic structure, and top-down control
Jeppesen, Erik; Canfield, Daniel E.; Bachmann, Roger W.; Sondergaard, Martin; Havens, Karl E.; Johansson, Liselotte S.; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Tserenpil, Sh; Rutter, Robert P.; Warren, Gary; Ji, Gaohua; Hoyer, Mark (Informa UK Limited, 2020-04-01)
Rapid climate changes may potentially have strong impacts on the ecosystem structure and nutrient dynamics of lakes as well as implications for water quality. We used a space-for-time approach to elucidate such possible effects by comparing data from 1656 shallow lakes (mean depth 100 mu g L-1) in the FL lakes, but coverage was higher in the DK lakes at low TP. We also found lower oxygen saturation in the nutrient-rich FL lakes than in the DK lakes, suggesting lower net ecosystem production in the FL lakes....
Development of a GIS-based estimator for streamflow at ungaged catchments
Öcal, Duygu; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2017)
Water resources management has been a critical component of sustainable resources planning. One of the most commonly used data in water resources management is streamflow measurements. Daily streamflow time series collected at a streamgage provide information on the temporal variation in water quantity at the gage location. However, streamflow information is often needed at ungaged catchments. One conventional approach to estimate streamflow at an ungaged catchment is to transfer streamflow measurements from the...
A SCREENING MODEL FOR EFFECTS OF LAND-DISPOSED WASTES ON GROUNDWATER QUALITY
Ünlü, Kahraman; PARKER, JC; STEVENS, D; CHONG, PK; KAMIL, I (Elsevier BV, 1992-10-01)
This paper describes a screening model for evaluating the migration of organic and inorganic contaminants leached from land-disposed wastes. The model is composed of a waste-zone release submodel, an unsaturated-zone transport submodel and a saturated-zone transport submodel. The waste-zone submodel assumes steady one-dimensional vertical flow through a uniform waste zone treated as a "stirred tank reactor". Soluble inorganic contaminants are assumed to exhibit a constant concentration in the leachate until...
A process-based diagnostic approach to model evaluation: Application to the NWS distributed hydrologic model
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Wagener, Thorsten (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2008-09-11)
Distributed hydrological models have the potential to provide improved streamflow forecasts along the entire channel network, while also simulating the spatial dynamics of evapotranspiration, soil moisture content, water quality, soil erosion, and land use change impacts. However, they are perceived as being difficult to parameterize and evaluate, thus translating into significant predictive uncertainty in the model results. Although a priori parameter estimates derived from observable watershed characteris...
