Varoonchotikul (a civil engineer in Thailand) proposes a solution to the extrapolation problem, one of the most serious limitations to the Artificial Neural Network approach to modeling rainfall-runoff and predicting flooding. Focusing on the range of activation functions for each node, the proposed method seeks to create space for an Artificial Neural network to extrapolate. Case studies document the success of this approach in the Silk Stream, the Thrushel and Brue Rivers, and elsewhere. There is no index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Flood disasters continue to occur in many countries in the world and cause tremendous casualties and property damage. To mitigate the effects of floods, a range of structural and non-structural measures have been employed including dykes, channelling, flood-proofing property, land-use regulation and flood warning schemes. Such schemes can include the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for modelling the rainfall run-off process as it is a quick and flexible approach which gives very promising results. However, the inability of ANN to extrapolate beyond the limits of the training range is a serious limitation of the method, and this book examines ways of side-stepping or solving this complex issue.
