ABSTRACT:
The distributed water flow predicting device comprises seasonal prediction model learning means for learning weight coefficients by back propagation over a prediction model a neural network model for predicting daily distributed water flows and specific characters of an hourly distributed water flow pattern for a season, based on processed actual seasonal weather data and seasonal distributed water flows, so as to identify the prediction model. Seasonal distributed water flow predicting means pridicts daily distributed water flows and specific characters of hourly distributed water flow patterns for a required season by using the prediction model, based on inputted information about the weather, temperature, a weekday or a holiday. The seasonal distributed water flow predicting means compares the specific characters of an hourly distributed water flow pattern given by the prediction model with specific characters of past actual distributed water flow patterns so as to retrieve a most similar hourly distributed flow pattern from the past actual distributed water flow patterns, giving the retrieved pattern as a predicted hourly distributed water flow pattern, and multiplys the predicted daily distributed water flow by the predicted hourly distributed water flow pattern to predict an hourly distributed water flow.
