Abstract

A method for forecasting flood, the method including: calibrating the hydrological model by using an objective function that is a sum of squared difference between the observed streamflow and the corresponding forecasted streamflow at each lead time to obtain the optimized hydrological model; using the optimized hydrological model to forecast floods; and evaluating forecasting performance of the optimized hydrological model. The method improves the forecasting accuracy and provides forecasting results at various lead times.
