Forecasting pan evaporation with an integrated artificial neural network quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization model: a case study in Talesh, Northern Iran

Accurate simulation of evaporation plays an important role in the efficient management of water Resources. Generally, evaporation is measured using the direct method where Class A pan-evaporimeter is used, and an indirect method that includes empirical equations. However, despite its widespread usag...
