Background


Hanjiang River (the longest branch of Yangtze River) basin is an important water resource for the SNWTP (South-to-North Water Transfer Project) in China. For the safety and efficiency of middle route of SNWTP, it is essential to develop technologies for long lead-time streamflow forecasting of Hanjiang River.


background


Currently the long lead-time streamflow forecasting is mainly based on streamflow auto-correlations and hydro-climatic teleconnections using machine learning models and statistic models. However, few of these models consider the physical mechanism of hydrological phenomena. In fact, if we want to consider both statistical models and hydrological models, we can use Ensemble Streamflow Prediction (ESP) method which has been widely used for long-term flow forecasting.
