Abstract:Disasters related to climate change regarding water resources are on the rise in terms of scale and severity. Therefore, predicting groundwater levels (GWLs) is a crucial means to aid adaptive capacity towards disasters related to climate change in water resources. In this study, a Gradient Boosting (GB) regression modelling approach for GWL prediction as a function of rainfall and antecedent GWL is used. A correlation analysis carried out from 2011 to 2020 demonstrated that monthly GWLs can be predicted by an… Show more
