| Abstract: | |
| The study intends to first analyze and simulate the historical trends and then forecast (via hydrological model- and AI-based techniques) the future trends of streamflow in Swat River with a specific focus on hydropower generation by Malakand-III Power Plant. Expected results include time series forecasts for future streamflow as well as future estimates of irrigation and hydropower potential. | |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
| Hydropower is one of the sustainable resources for clean energy needs worldwide; Pakistan is in dire need of such solutions. Furthermore, recent impacts of climate change have intensified the need to manage the water resources to stand against hydrometeorological extremes. | |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
| Water resources of Pakistan are in distress due to increasing population, mismanagement, and climate change. R&D in the field of water resources management offers vital help to society including agriculture and food security, power supply to industries, and prevention of disaster risks. | |
| How will the solution works | |
| Technical working involves delineation of catchment of Swat River Basin, obtaining and pre-processing the ground-based observed precipitation, temperature, and streamflow data, downloading the historical data for these parameters from reanalysis model-based archives, hydrological model simulation, time series forecasting of streamflow using ARIMA model within the built-in packages of R, and estimating the future potential for irrigation and hydropower through diversion of Swat River water. | |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
| To our knowledge, streamflow (and, in turn, hydropower) forecasting using a combination of historical simulations and AI has not been conducted in Pakistan. Our solution is unique in the view that it offers automated coding in R to come up from raw data to streamflow forecasts. | |
