Does MC-LSTM model improve the reliability of streamflow prediction in human-influenced watersheds?

New paper by @g_sahu55951 and @nikk_mn

Ans: MC-LSTM shows greater performance improvement over LSTM in high-human-influenced watersheds.

We developed a physically interpretable differentiable model for regulated catchments by integrating reservoir dynamics and addressing reservoir-specific data limitations using satellite-based indirect observations.

Today, I completed my PhD in Hydrology from @iitroorkee.

My thesis focused on DL-based models for streamflow prediction in human-influenced watersheds and flood risk assessment in ungauged regions.

Special thanks to my advisor Prof. @AshutoshHydro

🎓Officially Dr. Nikunj!

[Dr. Ashutosh Sharma @AshutoshHydro]
