July 2025Project Report

This study evaluates the performance of a leading deep learning model—Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)—for rainfall–runoff modeling, comparing it with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) process-based Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) model. Conducted in California’s Russian River watershed, the study developed and tested five model configurations: HEC-HMS, standalone LSTM, physics-informed LSTM (PILSTM), multi-timescale LSTM (MTS-LSTM), and physics-informed multi-timescale LSTM (MTS-PILSTM), using the open-source NeuralHydrology library recently updated by Google Research.
