ABSTRACT
Water scarcity is a global
concern, as the demand for water is increasing tremendously and
poor management of water resources will accelerates dramatically
the depletion of available water. The precise prediction of evapotranspiration
(ET),
that consumes almost 100% of the supplied irrigation water, is one
of the goals that should be adopted in order to avoid more squandering
of water especially in arid and semiarid regions. The capabilities
of feedforward backpropagation neural networks (FFBP) in predicting reference evapotranspiration
(ET0) are evaluated in this paper in comparison
with the empirical FAO Penman-Monteith (P-M) equation,
later a model of FFBP+Genetic Algorithm (GA)
is implemented for the same evaluation purpose. The study location
is the main station in Iraq, namely Baghdad Station. Records of
weather variables from the related meteorological station, including
monthly mean records of maximum air temperature (Tmax), minimum air temperature (Tmin),
sunshine hours (Rn), relative humidity (Rh)
and wind speed (U2), from the related meteorological station
are used in the prediction of ET0 values. The performance of both
simulation models were evaluated using statistical coefficients
such as the root of mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE)
and coefficient of determination (R2). The results of both models
are promising, however the hybrid model shows higher efficiency
in predicting ET0 and could be recommended for modeling of ET0 in
arid and semiarid regions.

ABSTRAK
Kekurangan air adalah satu
kebimbangan global, kerana permintaan bekalan air semakin bertambah
dan pengurusan sumber air yang lemah akan secara dramatik mempercepatkan
pengurangan air sedia ada. Jangkaan tepat untuk penyejatpeluhan
(ET),
yang menggunakan hampir 100% daripada bekalan air pengairan merupakan
salah satu matlamat yang perlu diterima pakai bagi mengelakkan lebih
banyak pembaziran air terutamanya di kawasan-kawasan gersang dan
separa gersang. Keupayaan rangkaian neural perambatan balik maklumbalas
ke depan (FFBP)
untuk meramalkan rujukan penyejatpeluhan (ET0) dinilai
dalam kertas ini berbanding dengan persamaan empirikal FAO Penman-Monteith
(P-M), kemudian model FFBP + genetik algoritma (GA)
dijalankan bagi tujuan penilaian yang sama. Lokasi kajian ialah
stesen utama di Iraq, iaitu stesen Baghdad. Rekod pemboleh ubah
cuaca dari stesen kajicuaca berkaitan, termasuk rekod bulanan purata
suhu udara yang maksimum (Tmax),
suhu udara minimum (Tmin), jam cahaya matahari (Rn),
kelembapan relatif (Rh) dan kelajuan angin (U2)
dari stesen kajicuaca berkaitan digunakan dalam jangkaan untuk nilai
ET0.
Prestasi kedua-dua model simulasi dianalisis menggunakan pekali
statistik seperti punca min ralat kuasa dua (RMSE), min ralat mutlak (MAE)
dan pekali penentuan (R2). Keputusan kedua-dua model adalah
menggalakkan. Walau bagaimanapun model hibrid menunjukkan kecekapan
yang lebih tinggi dalam meramalkan ET0 dan boleh disyorkan untuk pemodelan
ET0 di kawasan gersang dan separa gersang.
