Abstract
Water flow is a hydrological process that highly intermittent and dependent on nature. Water flow forecasting is an important task for operation and management of water resources for application that includes irrigation, water distribution, hydropower generation and flood prediction. There has been many methods and tools used to forecast and predicts water flow in many hydrological areas. As a result, the water flow modeling has become a key area of study due to the importance of water resource management. Hence, this paper aim to provide a comprehensive that compare methods used for water flow forecasting and summarized their key characteristics.
