The study and design of water dams depend essential on prediction of water volumes
or future predicted in rivers, by using the time series analysis of the historical
measurements.
The research aims to make statistical study of monthly water volume
s incoming in
AL-Aroos River in Syrian coastal and future prediction of these volumes. And the
Box-Jenkins models is adopt to analysis the time series data, because of its high accuracy.
We attend the monthly water volumes for 15 years. And after doing the wanted tests on
model residuals we found that the best model to represent the data is SARIMA(0,1,2)
(1,2,1)12 , and after dividing the data to 14 years to build the model and one year to test it ,
and depending on the smallest of weighted mean of criteria RMSE, MAP, MAE,. The best
predicted model is SARIMA (1,1,0) (0,1,1)12 and the model give the nearest predicted of
measured data actually.
