Abstract

Runoff prediction is one of the important research fields of hydrology. As for the runoff series with unstable, poor periodicity and non-obvious tendency, this paper solves the problem that the general traditional models are not suitable for the short and medium-term prediction of such runoff series. To describe the nonhomogeneous characteristics of runoff series, a novel prediction model is established based on a nonhomogeneous Markov chain (NHMC-RPM). In this model, the probability distribution function of weekly runoff is obtained and the predicted value is calculated using the expected state. Taking the Yellow River as a case, the prediction results show that the NHMC-RPM is more accurate than other traditional models. The model presented in this work may be used to deal with similar runoff or other series data, as well as provide a practical approach for river managers to predict short and medium-term runoff.
