Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Water Resources Forecasting

Computer systems that use algorithms to analyse their environment and take actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and facial recognition systems), or it can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of Things [IoT] applications).

A science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water, specifically the study of water on the surface of land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere, particularly with respect to evaporation and precipitation.
