“…Based on previous studies, Genetic models (GP and GEP) in the simulation and prediction of rainfall-runoff, water table depth variations, precipitation, suspended sediment, evaporation, lake water level variations, reservoir operation, water quality, water demand, flood routing, and streamflow have performed better than ANN, ANFIS, and SVM models (Kisi & Shiri, 2011;Shiri & Kişi, 2011;Kisi et al, 2012;Al-Juboori & Guven, 2016). Also, the superiority of GP and GEP models to other data-driven models in the prediction of groundwater level variations has been demonstrated by several researchers (Fallah-Mehdipour et al, 2013;Fallah-Mehdipour et al, 2014;Kasiviswanathan et al, 2016;Bahmani et al, 2020). Some scholars have studied the impact of climate change on water resources (Abbaspour et al, 2009;Tapoglou et al, 2014;Chang et al, 2015;Salem et al, 2018;Jeihouni et al, 2019a;Razack et al, 2019;Idrizovic et al, 2020).…”
