Data Analysis and Modellingfor River Flow Forecasting ■Forecasting of river flow activities is helpful in planning
and utilising local and national water resource systems, as well as avoiding disastrous floods.
■Data-based modelling, aimed at building mathematical models based on limited observational data, provides a powerful tool for river flow data modelling and analysis.
■The basic idea behind the data-based modelling approach is that: the process under study is treated to be a black-box where the inherent dynamics/mechanisms are unknown.

Data-Based Modelling and System Identification
Data Model Applications
Historically observed data e,g. river flow, rainfall-flow (rainfall-run-off), global temperature, and other environmental and space weather data
Environmental and space weather data modelling and analysis, e.g. river flow forecasting
Linear/nonlinearParametric/nonparametric Time series (AR/NAR)Input-output models (ARX/NARX/NARMAX)Neural Networks, Wavelet models, etc.
■The model considered here belongs to a class of nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) representations: • Fractional Power AutoRegressive (FPAR) model

River Flow Forecasting
Learning a model from existing data (e.g. observations of the period from 1987 to 2000)
The resultant model will be used to forecast future behaviour

Conclusions♦ Short-term (e.g. 1- and 2-day ahead) and medium-
term ( e.g. 5-day ahead) forecasts of river flow are available by means of system identification techniques. ♦ Indeed, the proposed FPAR model produces reliable short- and medium-term forecasts for the river flow in the Thames at Kingston.
♦ The FPAR model can produce satisfactory results for medium-term predictions of river flow data.
♦ Data based modelling, coupled with physical insights about the system, will produce more reliable results for medium-and long-term predictions.
