Özet

The main objective of this study was to investigate the applicability and efficiency of an artificial bee colony optimization algorithm to determine two statistical-based rainfall intensity duration frequency equations' weighting parameters. For this aim, the annual maximum rainfall records were obtained from seven meteorological stations of seven geographic regions in Turkey. It was observed that the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm, which is an alternative technique for solving the rainfall intensity duration frequency equations, gives very good results in selected seven meteorological stations.
