Summary, in English

Accurate and timely monitoring of streamflow and its variation is crucial for water resources management in watersheds. This study aimed at evaluating the performance of two process-driven conceptual rainfall-runoff models (HBV: Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning, and NRECA: Non Recorded Catchment Areas) and seven hybrid models based on three artificial intelligence (AI) methods (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), support vector machine (SVM), and group method of data handling (GMDH)) in simulating streamflow in four river basins in Indonesia. HBV and NRECA were developed based on precipitation data. Various combinations of 1-month lagged precipitation data together with outputs of HBV and NRECA were used for developing ANFIS and SVM models, and the best results of ANFIS and SVM formed the inputs to GMDH. Results showed that AI-based hybrid models have generally led to more accurate streamflow estimates compared with HBV and NRECA, and the GMDH model had the best performance at Cipero, Kedungdowo, Notog, and Sukowati stations, with RMSEs of 12.21, 6.07, 20.35, and 24.2 m3 s−1, respectively. More accurate estimation of peak values in training set at Cipero and Sukowati stations, and in both training and testing sets at Kedungdowo station was another advantage of GMDH. Hybrid models based on AI methods can be suitable alternatives to hydrological models, particularly in watersheds where there is a lack of measured data (e.g. climatic parameters, land cover-plant growth data, soil data, stream conditions, and properties of groundwater aquifers), provided that appropriate inputs are used.
