The paper presents a robust flood prediction model for Ashland City, Tennessee, utilizing water level data from USGS gauge stations. A Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network is used to process sequential time-series data. The model is trained, validated, and tested using a year-long dataset from January 2021 to January 2022. Performance metrics include Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Percent Bias (PBIAS), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Coefficient of Determination (R^2). The results show high accuracy, with the model explaining 98.2% of the variance in data.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper helps predict floods in Ashland City by using special computer models. It uses water level data from nearby sensors to train a “memory” computer that can learn patterns over time. The model is tested on a year’s worth of data and does a great job predicting future flood levels. This could help people prepare for and respond to flooding disasters.
