Abstract

En 中文
Data-driven models have been widely developed and achieved impressive results in streamflow prediction. However, the existing data-driven models mostly focus on the selection of input features and the adjustment of model structure, and less on the impact of spatial connectivity on daily streamflow prediction. In this paper, a basin network based on graph-structured data is constructed by considering the spatial connectivity of different stations in the real basin. Fur-thermore, a novel graph neural network model, variational Bayesian edge-conditioned graph convolution model, which consists of edge-conditioned convolution networks and variational Bayesian inference, is proposed to assess the spatial connectivity effects on daily streamflow forecasting. The proposed graph neural network model is applied to forecast the next-day streamflow of a hydrological station in the Yangtze River Basin, China. Six comparative models and three comparative experimental groups are used to validate model performance. The results show that the proposed model has excellent performance in terms of deterministic prediction accuracy (NSE -0.980, RMSE-1362.7 and MAE -745.8) and probabilistic prediction reliability (ICPC-0.984 and CRPS-574.1), which demonstrates that establishing appropriate connectivity and reasonably identifying connection relationships in the basin network can effectively improve the deterministic and probabilistic forecasting performance of the graph convolutional model.
