The Implementation of Flow-Temperature Artificial Neural Network Regression into Operations Planning Models

Project ID: 1859
Principal Investigator: James Shannon
Research Topic: Water Quality
Funded Fiscal Years: 2018 and 2019
Keywords: None

Research Question

Can an Artificial Neural Network replicate a temperature model and be integrated into an Operations Planning Model and provide reasonable results?

Need and Benefit

The proposed research addresses the need to perform long-term water supply reliability modeling while satisfying Sacramento River temperature requirements stated in National Marine Fisheries Service Reasonable Prudent Alternative I.2.4.
