Reconstruction of flow regimes of Borkena catchment for irrigation development using rainfall-runoff modeling Page1

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND


• Increased competition for water will be amongst the most important issues of the country. As
a result, water scarcity for agriculture and the resulting problem of food security must be
addressed. The rivers should be developed for irrigation, hydropower and water supply
purposes knowing their flow characteristics. To know their flow characteristics there has to
be optimum number of river gauges in the river catchment. However, regarding hydrological
data of the rivers there are a limited number of gauging stations on each river, and some of
them are not functioning well and have limited data records or no records. In such cases,
reconstructing flow regimes using rainfall runoff modeling on the principle of low flow
analysis along the length of the river solves the problem. There are many definitions of low
flow. In this study low flow is the lowest mean flow over durations ranging from one to D
days a year.
• Low flow characteristics can be determined by frequency analysis and flow duration
analysis. Flow frequency analysis relates the minimum average discharge for a given number
of consecutive days to the recurrence interval in years. Flow duration curves show the flow
characteristics of a stream through out the range of discharge. It shows the percentage of time
during which specified discharges are equaled or exceeded during the period of record.
• The duration can be taken in to account averaging the flows over the periods of time (1D,
7D, 10D, and 30D etc).
• The estimates of flow regimes at ungauged sites may be achieved by transfer of statistics
derived from gauged catchments using regionalization procedure.
• Therefore the main aim of this study is to reconstruct flow regimes of Borkena river
catchment which is located North Eastern part of Amhara region between 10 o23’-10o43’N
latitude and 39o32’-39o52’E longitude with approximate area of 1750 km2 for irrigation
development using rainfall-runoff modeling.
The models to be treated here are-
Simple Linear Model (SLM)
Linear Perturbation Model (LPM)
Soil Moisture Accounting and Routing (SMAR)
 The Linearly Varying Gain Factor Model (LVGFM)
The Artificial Neural Network Model (ANNM)

Simple Linear Model (SLM)
This model presumes a simple linear relationship between the input X (t), the areal mean
rainfall on the catchment and the output y(t),the discharge recorded at the gauging station. In discrete
form, incorporating a model output error term, it is expressed by
m
yi= ∑ xi− j+1 hj+ei
j =1

Where
yi and xi are the discharge and rainfall respectively at the i-th time-step,
hj = jth ordinate of the pulse response function
ei = the ith error term.
Solution Technique: is least square solution
^h = (XTX)-1(YTX) or
By substitution method:
n≤m
Qn= ∑ PmUn−m+1
m=1 , Where m = pulse of rainfall, n = pulse of runoff, Un = n-m+1

Linear Perturbation Model (LPM)


In the LPM [Nash and Barsi, 1983], it is assumed that, during a year in which the rainfall is
identical to its seasonal expectation, the corresponding discharge hydrograph is also identical to its
seasonal expectation. However, in all other years, when the rainfall and the discharge values depart
from their respective seasonal expectations, these departures series are assumed to be related by a
linear time invariant system.
The relation between the departure (i.e. perturbation) series of the LPM has the convolution
summation form:
m
∑ Ri− j+1 hj +ei
Qi = j=1
Where:
Ri = Xi – Xd, [Ri = are the rainfall departures from their seasonal expectations.]
Qi = Yi – Yd, [Qi = are the discharge departures fro their seasonal expectations.]

 The Soil Moisture Accounting and Routing (SMAR) Model


The Soil Moisture Accounting and Routing (SMAR) Model is a development of the ‘Layers’

conceptual rainfall-runoff model introduced by O’Connell et al. (1970), its water-balance component

being based on the ‘Layers Water Balance Model’ proposed in 1969 by Nash and Sutcliffe (Clarke,

p.307, 1994). Using a number of empirical and assumed relations that are considered to be at least

physically plausible, the non-linear water balance (i.e. soil moisture accounting) component ensures

satisfaction of the continuity equation, over each time-step, i.e. it preserves the balance between the

rainfall, the evaporation, the generated runoff and the changes in the various elements (layers) of soil

moisture storage. The routing component, on the other hand, simulates the attenuation and the

diffusive effects of the catchment by routing the various generated runoff components through linear

time-invariant storage elements. For each time-step, the combined output of the two routing

elements adopted (i.e. one for generated ‘surface runoff’ and the other for generated ‘groundwater

runoff’) becomes the simulated discharge forecast.

The Linearly Varying Gain Factor Model (LVGFM)
The LVGFM , proposed by Ahsan and O’Connor[1994] for the single-input to single-output
case, involves only the variation of the gain factor with the selected index of the prevailing
catchment wetness, but not the shape(i.e. the weights) of the response function. Using a time –
varying gain factor Gi, the model output has the structure
m m
Q=G j ∑ R i− j +1 B j , where ∑ B j= 1
j=1 j=1

In its simplest form, Gi is linearly related to an index of the soil moisture state z i by the equation Gi =
a + b zi, where a and b are constants. The value of zi is obtained from the output of naïve SLM,
operating as an auxiliary model, using:
¿
m ¿
G
Zi = − ∑ R i− j+ 1 h j
j=1
Q
¿
¿
h
Where G and j are estimates of the gain factor and the pulse response ordinates respectively of

the SLM and Q is the mean calibration discharge.


It tries to change the runoff coefficient behavior by capturing the seasonal varying runoff
coefficient by Fourier series models or harmonics.
The Artificial Neural Network Model (ANNM)
Neural networks distribute computations to processing units called neurons, grouped in layers and
densely interconnected. Three different layer types can be distinguished: an input layer, connecting
the input information to the network (and not carrying out any computation), one or more hidden
layers, acting as intermediate computational layers, and an output layer, producing the final output.
In correspondence of a computational node, each one of the entering values is multiplied by a
connection weight. Such products are then all summed with a neuron specific parameter, called bias,
used to scale the sum of products into a useful range. The computational node finally applies an
activation function to the above sum producing the node output. Weights and biases are determined
by means of a non-linear optimization procedure (training) that aims at minimizing a learning
function expressing closeness between observations and ANN outputs, in the present case the mean
squared error. A set of observed input and output (called a target to be distinguished from the
network final output) data pairs, the training data set, is processed repeatedly, changing the

parameters until they converge to values such that each input vector produces outputs as close as
possible to the desired target vectors.

Figure2. Structure of a neuron of an artificial neural network.


For a neuron either in the hidden or in the output layer, each received input yi is transformed to its
output yout by the mathematical transfer function

Y out = f wi y i + wo

Where f( ) denotes the transfer function, wi are the input connection pathway weights, m is the total
number of inputs (which equals the number of neurons in the preceding layer), and wo is the neuron
threshold (or bias).
The non-linear transfer function adopted for the neurons of the hidden and output layers is the
widely used logistic/sigmoid function

bounded in the range [0, 1]. The neuron weights wi, the threshold wo and ó can all be interpreted as
parameters of the network configuration.
If ‘l’ is the total number of neurons in the input layer and ‘m’ is the total number of neurons in the
hidden layer, then the total number of weights to be estimated for the ANN model is (l+1)m +
(m+1). The Simplex method is used for automatic optimization of the weights.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 The main problem I observed at Borkena catchment is that, the river has no enough

gauging stations to know its flow characteristics. This circumstance makes difficult to

develop the river for irrigation, and other water use purposes.

 Even those gauged sites are not functioning well and have limited data records.

 In such situation, reconstructing flow regimes using rainfall runoff modeling on the

principle of low flow analysis is helpful in determining the values of flow for each flow

duration for a given exceedence point which is useful for the design of structures on the

stream for irrigation water uses of the community.

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY


 The objectives of the study are:
 To Identify irrigable areas
 To compare the rainfall-runoff models
 To Develop flow regime representation of the
catchment
 To provide a frame work for further researches on
the same study area

If N 1,N2,N3 and Nx represent rainfalls at stations 1,2,3,and X respectively; and
P1,P2,P3,and Px represent their respective precipitation data of the day for which the data is missing at

b. Soil Moisture Accounting and Routing (SMAR) Model.


In addition to daily rainfall and discharge, SMAR needs daily evaporation data.
Use steps 1-6 as above.
7. Calculation of potential evapotranspiration.
For conditions when not all the meteorological data are available, it is mandatory to use other
methods. Among the empirical methods, Hargreaves method is most applicable and precise in such
conditions.
The working Hargreaves equation for an interior region is given by:

ETO = 0.0023(T+17.8)(Tmax – Tmin)0.5 Ra

Where:
Tmax = mean monthly maximum temperature, oC
Tmin = mean monthly minimum temperature, oC
Ra = extra terrestrial radiation, mm/day [1mm/day = 0.408MJ/m2day]

8. The combinations of the water balance parameters H, T, Y, C or


Z is chosen during calibration

9. The initial 3% of the calibration period is taken as a ‘warm-up’


period at the end of which it was assumed that the effect of the
initial conditions would be reduced to an insignificant level.

10. The pulse response function is developed.


11. Calibration method:
 It is possible to use Genetic Algorithm or Rosen brock Direct-Search Method or Simplex
Search Method to calibrate the model.
 The routing component is calibrated by constrained least square method.

C. Artificial Neural Network Model, ANNM


Use steps 1-7 as SMAR,
8. Training data patterns (neuron number, normalization, momentum coefficient, and learning rate)
will be fed sequentially into the input layer, and this information is propagated through the network.
9. Also connection weights, bias and the number of neurons in the hidden layer which are called
model parameters are adjusted during the calibration or training process through the minimization of
the MSE which is based on the gradient descent method using the error back –propagation
algorithm.
10. For each ANN configuration, the mean squared error (MSE) values will be worked out first
during the training and then with the same weights during the testing. Next, the target MSE value
will lower and the network is trained again and the corresponding MSE value in testing is worked
out. This procedure is continued until the MSE value in testing is found to increase instead of
decrease, i.e. when training and testing behaviour more or less balance each other.
