Abstract Accurate daily suspended sediment load (SSL) prediction is essential for sustainable water resource management, sediment control, and environmental planning. However, SSL prediction is highly complex due to its nonlinear and dynamic nature, making traditional empirical models inadequate. This study proposes a novel hybrid approach, integrating the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with the Gradient-Based Optimizer (GBO), to enhance SSL forecasting accuracy. The research compares the performance of ANFIS-GBO with three alternative models: standard ANFIS, ANFIS with Particle Swarm Optimization (ANFIS-PSO), and ANFIS with Grey Wolf Optimization (ANFIS-GWO). Historical SSL and streamflow data from the Bailong… More >
