Iran Receved 5 September, Accepted 4 January 3, Avalable onlne June 6, 3 ABSTRACT- Evaporaton, as a major component of the hydrologc cycle, plays a key role n water resources development and management n ard and sem-ard clmatc regons. Although there are emprcal formulas avalable, ther performances are not all satsfactory due to the complcated nature of the evaporaton process and the data avalablty. Ths paper explores evaporaton estmaton methods based on nonlnear dynamc neural network model (NNARX ) and adaptve neuro-fuzzy nference system (ANFIS) technques. It has been found that NNARX and ANFIS technques have much better performances than the emprcal formulas (for the test data set, NNARX R =.95, ANFIS R =.94, Meyer R =.8 and Marcano R =.68). ANFIS and NNARX models are slghtly better albet the small dfference. Although NNARX and ANFIS technques seem to be powerful, ther data nput selecton process s qute complcated. More studes are needed to gan wder experence about ths data selecton tool and how t could be used n assessng the valdaton data. Keywords: ANFIS, Emprcal formulas, Evaporaton, NNARX INTRODUCTION Evaporaton has wde mplcatons amongst hydrologcal processes and plays a key role n water resources management n ard and semard clmatc regons. The most common and mportant factors affectng evaporaton are solar radaton, ar and sol temperature,relatve humdty, vapor pressure defct, atmospherc pressure, and wnd speed. In one of the earlest publshed papers, Dalton (7) ponted out that evaporaton was proportonal to the dfference between vapor pressure of the ar at the water surface and that of the overlyng ar, although apparently he never expressed ths relatonshp n mathematcal terms. () Later concluded that the vapor pressure defct was a much more senstve ndcator of the water vapor condtons of the atmosphere and underwent greater varatons for temperature changes than dd the relatve humdty. Evaporaton losses should be consdered n the desgn of varous water resources and rrgaton systems. In areas wth lttle ranfall, evaporaton losses can represent a sgnfcant part of the water budget for a lake or *Instructor and Assocate Professor, respectvely Correspondng Author

Owng to ts convenence and cost effectveness, an evaporaton pan s one of the most wdely used nstruments for the measurement of evaporaton, but ts performance s affected by nstrumental lmts and practcal ssues such as measurement errors and mantenance, whch can reduce the accuracy of evaporaton measurements. It s also dffcult to use the pan by telemetry technques, hence the human labor cost s hgh. Alternatvely, mathematc models could be used to estmate evaporaton from related weather varables. To date, many researchers have developed models for estmatng free water evaporaton all over the world (7). Mosner and Aulenbach (5) compared four emprcal methods of evaporaton estmaton, ncludng the Prestly Taylor, Penman, DeBrun Kejman, and Papa Daks equatons for Lake Semnole, southwestern Georga, and northwestern Florda, from Aprl to September. It has been found that the average monthly lake evaporaton estmates derved from the emprcal equatons were as much as 6% n error. Therefore, there s room for mprovement n the conventonal evaporaton models. In recent years, other methods have been explored by many researchers, such as the mass transfer methods (37, 7, ) and eddy correlaton technques (36, ). Despte the large amount of lterature publshed, most of the reported methods are too demandng for observed meteorologcal data and prone to errors f locally calbrated parameters are not avalable. In addton, evaporaton s an ncdental, nonlnear, complex, and unsteady process, so t s dffcult to derve an accurate formula to represent all the physcal processes nvolved. As a result, there s a new trend n usng data mnng technques such as fuzzy logc, artfcal neural networks (ANN), and ANFIS to estmate evaporaton. Ths followed a large number of studes n whch some hydrologcal processes were smulated by nonlnear models based on ANN, support vector machnes, fuzzy logcal system, polynomal functon, local lnear regresson, Bayesan networks, decson trees, etc. (7, 7, 7, 8). In evaporaton estmaton, some typcal studes reported so far use ANN n modelng daly sol evaporaton (8), daly evapotranspraton (9), daly pan evaporaton (3, 33, 8, 7), and hourly pan evaporaton (3). Usng temperature data alone, Sudheer et al. (3) found that a properly traned ANN model could reasonably estmate the evaporaton values at ther study area n a temperate regon. From these reports, t s clear that ANN models are superor to the conventonal regresson models, as ANN does not requre any predetermnaton of regresson forms. Ths advantage becomes more promsng when an engneerng problem s too complex to be represented by regresson equatons (3). In comparson wth a wder applcaton of ANN n other felds (such as flood forecastng,, 6, 35, 5, 4, ), the modelng experence of ANN n evaporaton estmaton s stll qute lmted and there s a need to study and report trals of ths technque n dfferent clmate regons so that some generalzaton of ths method could be acheved. MATERIALS AND METHODS Emprcal Methods of Estmatng Evaporaton Evaporaton pans are commonly used to estmate evaporaton from lakes and reservors. However, there are many problems wth them. Many factors can 5

In practce, emprcal formulas have been derved to estmate evaporaton on the bass of feld measurements of evaporaton pans and reservor/lake water balances. Those formulas are lnked wth varous weather factors mpactng evaporaton. As the complexty of the emprcal methods ncreases, data requrements to drve the equatons often make the emprcal methods hard to apply for feld applcatons. A large number of emprcal methods for estmatng evaporaton based on dfferent meteorologcal nputs have been suggested durng the past decades (7). However, many of them are not applcable n ths study due to ther lmtatons n data avalablty. As a result, only two relevant emprcal methods are used n the case study (.e., they are compatble wth the avalable weather measurements), as lsted n Table. In ths table, for each formula, E=evaporaton rate (mm/day); es=saturaton vapor pressure (mllmeters of Hg); ea=actual vapor pressure (mllmeters of Hg); U=average wnd velocty (km/h) at a heght of m above the lake or surroundng land areas; and C for deep lake=.36, low lake=.5 Table.

Rule structure that needs to be optmzed to acheve a better lngustc nterpretablty. In ths study, three Gaussan membershp functons were used to construct the ANFIS model. There are a wde varety of algorthms avalable for tranng a network and adjustng ts weghts. In ths study, an adaptve technque called momentum Levenberg Marquardt based on the generalsed delta rule was adopted (5). In ths scheme, the adaptve learnng rates were used for ncreasng the convergence velocty throughout all ANFIS smulatons. The ANN s an evolvng technque and new progress stll beng made wth tme. In recent years, a combnaton of ANN and ARX (Autoregressve Extra Input) has ganed some popularty n the control feld. Tradtonally, The ARX model has been wdely used n control theory for modellng varous control processes (). Its smple structure s bascally lnear and can be descrbed as 54 (3) (6)

Hrmand Rver, orgnated from Afghanstan, s bfurcated nto two branches when t reaches the Iranan border, namely Paran and Sstan. Sstan s the only water supply known n Sstan and Baluchstan provnce. It s the man stream of Hrmand Rver, whch flows through Sstan plan and dscharges nto the natural swamp of Hamun-e-Hrmand (Fgure 3). As can be seen n the fgure, Sstan plan s essentally an nland delta wth ts major watercourses leadng to a seres of lakes. The Sstan delta has a very hot and dry clmate. In summer, the temperature exceeds 5 o C. Ranfall s about 6 mm/year and occurs only n autumn and wnter. Open water evaporaton s very hgh and s estmated to be 3 mm/year. Strong wnds n the regon are qute unque and are an mportant contrbutng factor for the hgh evaporaton. The Chahnme reservors are a seres of natural depressons used 55

Durng perods of hgh flows, water s dverted to these reservors va an ntake and canal whch has a capacty of up to m 3 /s. The daly weather varables of an automated weather staton, Chahnme Staton of Zabol (lattude W, longtude N) operated by the IR Sstan and Balochstan Regonal Water (IR SBRW) were used n ths study. The measured daly meteorologcal data for the Chahnme staton were obtaned from the IR SBRW ( The data sample conssted of eleven years (5 9) of daly records of ar temperature (T), wnd speed (W), sunshne hours (SR), relatve humdty (RH) and pan evaporaton (E). For the staton of nterest, the frst deta of day nne years (983 4) were used for tranng modes and the remanng data were used for testng.

Evaporaton losses n the Chahnme staton are moderately hgh due to hgh temperature and long sunshne hours that show sgnfcantly hgh varatons. The data were analyzed wth the Mntab program. A smlarty matrx was constructed usng Jaccard s coeffcent of smlarty and a dendrogram was obtaned as shown n Fgure 4. The dendrogram analyss revealed a strong lnk between evaporaton and the two nput varables of wnd speed and ar temperature. The other two weather factors (sunshne hours and relatve humdty) played useful but less mportant roles n the evaporaton process. It s concluded that for the ANFIS and NNARX models, all four varables (ar temperature, wnd speed, sunshne hours, and relatve humdty) should be consdered as potental nputs. Fg. 4. The rdendrogram of weather varables of nterest RESULTS Among the four meteorologcal varables consdered, t s clear that some would play more mportant roles than others and t s mportant that only the sgnfcant ones are used as nputs for the fnal model. In ths study, varous combnatons of these varables were examned to evaluate the mpact of each varable. Root mean square error (RMSE), ndex of operaton (d), mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute relatve error (MARE) and determnaton coeffcent (R) were all used as evaluaton crtera. The RMSE represents the devaton between smulated values and observed values. The parameter d shows the operaton of the model whch vares between zero and one (best values for d are closer to one). The lower MAE values ndcate more accurate estmatons. MSE and MARE provde dfferent types of nformaton about the predctve capabltes of the model. The MSE measures the goodness-of-ft relevant to hgh evaporaton values whereas the MARE yelds a more balanced estmaton of the goodness-of-ft at moderate evaporaton (5). R measures the degree to whch two varables are lnearly related. A lst of the performance measures are depcted n Table 3.

Comparson of the observed and estmated evaporaton for the testng data wth the Meyer model DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Overall, the objectves of ths study were to evaluate the ANN model for evaporaton estmaton under a hot and dry clmate, to mprove the ANN model by ncorporatng ARX component, and to nvestgate the sutable nput data for the ANFIS model n comparson wth those from prevously publshed works. It s qute clear that all the planned objectves have been acheved resultng n some nterestng fndngs about weather varable selectons. Ths paper s the frst attempt n applyng ths model n a Mddle Eastern regon. It s confrmed that ANFIS works well for a hot and dry place such as Iran. The mproved performance by ntegratng ANN and ARX s not only novel (the frst applcaton of such a model n evaporaton research feld) but s also qute mnd broadenng snce t ndcates that there s stll room for mprovng the exstng ANN model despte ts beng a unversal nonlnear regresson tool. Another nterestng fndng n ths study s the unque combnaton of the contrbutng varables. It has been demonstrated that the mportant weather factors to be ncluded n the model nput are: ar temperature, sunshne hours, wnd speed and relatve humdty. Ths result s dfferent to all others reported n the lterature. In the USA, Han and Felker (7), used three weather nput varables to estmate evaporaton from the sol, relatve ar humdty, ar temperature, wnd speed. Kumar et al. (9) selected sx nput varables, mnmum and maxmum temperature, mnmum and maxmum relatve humdty, wnd speed, and solar radaton. In Inda wth ts hot and humd clmate, Sudheer et al. (3) found that ther model worked best wth sx nputs: mnmum and maxmum temperature, mnmum and maxmum relatve humdty, and wnd speed (although the mprovement of usng mnmum and maxmum temperature over the mean temperature was qute small). In Turkey, there were mxed results from the publshed papers. Terz and Kesk (34) nvestgated the evaporaton at Lake Egrdr and found that mportant weather factors were (n order of ther mportance): ar temperature, solar radaton and ar pressure. It s surprsng to note that they found the nfluences of relatve humdty and wnd were neglgble but the ar pressure was ncluded. One year later, the authors reported that only two weather nput varables (ar temperature and solar radaton) were good enough and ar pressure was dsmssed. Another paper by the authors(33) reported three contrbutng weather factors to be consdered n ther model: solar radaton, ar temperature, and relatve humdty (wnd and ar pressure were gnored). The caprcous choce of the weather varables may ndcate that ther model nput selecton schemes were not very stable. Tan et al. (3) found the mportant varables were: sola radaton, relatve humdty, ar temperature and surface wnd speed. 6

11 Daly Pan Evaporaton Modellng Wth ANFIS and The results n the testng of NNARX and ANFIS are lsted n Table 4, 5, 6 along wth the emprcal methods. It s observed that NNARX and ANFIS have much better performances than the emprcal equatons. The best result for the emprcal formula Marcano s R =.68 and for Meyer t s R=.8 for the test data set. In contrast, the R s.95 for NNARX and.94 for ANFIS both sgnfcantly better than all the three emprcal formulas. Between NNARX and ANFIS, NNARX has a slghtly better performance, whch ndcates that the fuzzy approach has not helped mprove the evaporaton modelng results. Fgs. 5 and 6 llustrate the scatter plots for all the models (snce no tranng s needed for the emprcal models, only the estmaton results on the testng data are presented n Fg. 6).Ths phenomenon could also occur n other clmate regons and we hope ths paper wll nspre more researchers to explore ths n ther future evaporaton studes.
