Predictive modelling of the stage–discharge relationship using Gene-Expression Programming

Modelling the hydrologic processes is an essential tool for the efficient management of water resource systems. Therefore, researchers are consistently developing and improving various predictive/forecasting techniques to accurately represent a river's attributes, even though traditional method...
