dc.description.abstractStreamflow prediction is an important matter for the water resources management and the design of hydraulic structures that can be built on rivers. Recently, it has become a widely studied research field where data obtained from stream gauge stations can be utilized for creating estimating models by resorting to different methods such as machine and deep learning techniques. In this study, we performed monthly streamflow predictions by using the following data-driven methods of machine learning: linear regression, support vector regression, random forest and deep learning (DL) models to compare the performances of ML's and DL's techniques. A general workflow that can be applied to similar regions is presented. An estimating model containing six-input combinations and time-lagged streamflow data is improved by means of the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF). Furthermore, moving average is used as a smoothing technique to make the dataset more stable and reduce the effects of noise data. A comparative evaluation has been conducted to determine the performances of the above-mentioned methods. In this study, we proposed four different DL models and compared them with existing techniques. For the comparison of the results, we used evaluation criteria such as Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), mean square error (MSE) and percent bias (PBIAS). The experimental results indicate that our bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRU) model outperforms both ML algorithms and existing solutions with 0.971 NSE, 0.001 MSE and - 1.536 PBIAS scores.
