Abstract – Flooding is one of the most dangerous natural causes that inflict harm to both life and property on a yearly basis. Therefore, building a flood model for predicting the immersion zone in a watershed is critical for decision-makers. Floods are a perilous tragedy that annually threatens Iraq and the Middle East region, impacting millions of people. In this context, having suitable flood forecasting algorithms may help people by reducing property damage and saving lives by warning communities of potentially severe flooding events ahead of time.
Data mining techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) approaches have recently been applied to model floods. The purpose of this study is to develop a model that extrapolates the past into the future using existing statistical models and recurrent neural networks and is powered by rainfall forecasting data. We investigate a number of time series forecasting approaches, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks. The forecasting methods investigated are tested and implemented using rainfall data from the Mosul region of Iraq. In addition, in flood occurrences and conducting experiments to study the relationship between rainfall and floods.
