Abstract

Accurate inflow forecasting is an essential non-engineering strategy to guarantee flood management and boost the effectiveness of the water supply. As inflow is the primary reservoir input, precise inflow forecasting may also offer appropriate reservoir design and management assistance. This study aims to generalize the machine learning model using the support vector machine (SVM), which is support vector regression (SVR), to predict the discharges of the Euphrates River upstream of the Haditha Dam reservoir in Anbar province West of Iraq. Time series data were collected for the period (1986-2024) for the river’s daily, monthly, and seasonal flow. Different kernel functions of SVR were applied in this study. The kernels are linear, Quadratic, and Gaussian (RBF). The results showed that the daily time scale is better than the monthly and seasonal performance. In contrast, the linear kernel outperformed the other SVR kernel with a time delay of one day based on the value of the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.95) and the root mean square error (RMSE = 53.29) m3/sec for predicting daily river flow. The results showed that the proposed machine learning model performed well in predicting the daily flow of the Euphrates River upstream of the Haditha Dam reservoir; this indicates that the model might effectively forecast flows, which helps improve water resource management and dam operations.
