VISUAL MODELING IN HYDROLOGY: ENHANCING REAL-TIME FLOOD MANAGEMENT USING FLEXPLOT, LINEAR MODELING, AND MIXED MODELING
Volume 10, Issue12 (10 - 2024)
Abstract
Effective flood management relies on accurate predictions. Visual modeling techniques play a
crucial role in hydrology and water resources management. This study analyzed data from
Hydrological Area 8. The analysis employed flexplot, linear modeling, mixed modeling, and
generalized linear modeling. The results provide valuable insights into hydrological patterns and
trends. Flexplot visualization revealed a significant positive relationship between Kastina and the
response variable. Linear modeling identified Kastina (β = 0.464, p < 0.01) and Gusa (β = 0.552, p
< 0.01) as significant predictors, while Goroyo showed no significant effect. Mixed modeling
confirmed these findings, with Kastina (estimate = 0.267, p < 0.01) and Gusa (estimate = 0.272, p <
0.01) exhibiting significant positive relationships. Generalized linear modeling supported these
results, with Kastina (estimate = 0.274, p < 0.01) and Gusa (estimate = 0.313, p < 0.01) showing
significant positive effects. Model comparisons confirmed the importance of Kastina and Gusa. The
regression analysis yielded significant results, providing insights into the relationships between
variables. These findings suggest that Kastina and Gusa are significant predictors, contributing to
the variation in the response variable. The results provide valuable insights for engineering
applications, highlighting the importance of considering these variables in predictive models.
