Comparative Analysis of the Predictability of Linear & Non-Linear Methods for Seasonal Streamflow Forecasting: A Case Study of New South Wales (NSW)

The research study is focused on developing seasonal streamflow forecast models using lagged climate indices as potential predictors. New South Wales (NSW) situated in south-eastern part of Australia is chosen as the case study area. The outcome of the research is helpful to the water stakeholders as it enables them to take low-risk decisions at earlier stage of the crop period to avoid the adverse impacts of extreme climatic events like droughts or floods.
