Hydrological drought forecasting and monitoring system development using artificial neural network (ANN) in Ethiopia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate and perform long-term forecasting of both streamflow and hydrological drought over Ethiopia. Observed streamflow and precipitation data are collected from 17 streamflow stations and 34 rainfall gauge stations to forecast future streamflow and hydrological drought from 2026 to 2099. Streamflow forecasting is performed using an artificial neural network (ANN) in conjunction with python software. Observed precipitation and streamflow data from 1973 to 2014 are used to train and test the ANN model by 70 and 30% ratios, respectively. After training the model, future downscaled precipitation data from regional climate models (RCM) have been used as input data to forecast future streamflow. Three RCM models were used to downscale historical and future climate data. RACMO is found a good downscaling model for all selected stations. The linear scaling bias correction technique results in less than 2% error compared to other alternative techniques. The result indicates that ANN is a good tool to forecast streamflow in areas having a good correlation between precipitation and streamflow such as Abbay, Awash, Baro, Omo Gibe, and Tekeze river basins. But in arid areas for example Genale Dawa, Wabishebele, and Rift Valley basins, the model is not suitable because the input data (precipitation) have high variation than the output variable (streamflow). In such areas, meteorological drought analysis and forecasting are better than hydrological drought analysis. Finally, future hydrological drought is analyzed using forecasted streamflow data as input to the streamflow drought index (SDI). The result indicates that 2028, 2036, 2042, 2044, 2062, and 2063 are the expected extreme drought years in most river basins of Ethiopia in the future. This shows that at least one extreme drought is expected in each decade in the future. Therefore, extensive research in drought analysis and forecasting is needed to develop an effective drought early warning system, and water resource management policy.
