In this study, we introduce a data stream method for dynamic runoff simulation, which allows capturing the evolving relationship between runoff and its impact factors (e.g., temperature, rainfall). The basic idea is to view continuously arriving data of runoff and its impact factors as a data stream, and dynamically learn its relationship. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we c ...
