The purpose of this paper is to develop a neural network model in order to forecast flood inflow into the reservoir that has the nature of uncertainty and nonlinearity. The model has the features of multi-layered structure and parallel multi-connections. To develop the model. backpropagation learning algorithm was used with the Momentum and Levenberg-Marquardt techniques. The former technique uses gradient descent method and the later uses gradient descent and Gauss-Newton method respectively to solve the problems of local minima and for the speed of convergency. Used data for learning are continuous fixed real values of input as well as output to emulate the real physical aspects. after learning process. a reservoir inflows forecasting model at flood period was constructed. The data for learning were used to calibrate the developed model and the results were very satisfactory. applicability of the model to the Chungju Mlultipurpose Reservoir proved the availability of the developed model.
