- Abstract:
-
Based on the complexity and nonlinear characteristics of rainfall and slope runoff, a three-layer feed-forward back-propagation (BP) neural network model was constructed and used to simulate the runoff under different management patterns (grass and shrub land, harvested land, and tillage land). In this network model, vegetation coverage, rainfall intensity, gradient, antecedent soil moisture and soil bulk density were selected as the input variables, and runoff intensity under individual rainfall event was the only output variable.The network model was trained and validated by using the measured data obtained from different runoff plots under different rainfall intensity. The results showed that the mean error was less than 10%. The training accuracy and predictive results of tillage land were better than grass and shrub land and harvested land. The comparison for the results of the BP neural network model mothod and regression statistics method showed that the BP neural network model was better to predict the runoff under individula rainfall event.
