Abstract :
For more accurate measurement of the water flow, it has been always attempted to design structures with least errors and highest accuracy. Nowadays, the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) models has been rapidly grew mainly due to the fact that these models are not confined to the physical parameters. Artificial neural networks are based on use of embedded knowledge between input and output variables of a problem, regardless of physical aspects and these networks are able to extract inherent relation of the input and output and they can generalize the obtained relation to other situations and cases. In the present research, the information related to the overflow of Marun Storage Dam was adopted. The input parameters of ANN model are as follows: day, month, water surface elevation, water sharing percent and output parameters overflow discharge of storage dam. The models employed in artificial neural networks include FF, JEN, MLP and RBF. Moreover, the genetic algorithm (GA
