The relation between rainfall and runoff at the watershed scale is one of the important problems faced byhydrologists and engineers. An efficient accurate prediction of watershed runoff is important for watershed managementstudies, safe yield and design of flood control structures. The runoff generation process is known to be highly nonlinearand complex. In addition to rainfall, run off is dependent on numerous factors such as initial soil moisture, land use,watershed geomorphology, evaporation and infiltration. Rainfall-runoff relationship is further complicated byuncertainty in parameter estimates, heterogeneity in rainfall, soil properties and spatial variability of hydrologiccomponents. Since extensive instrumentation of a watershed is very costly and impractical, engineers are often facedwith little or no information to make predictions.
