Explainable AI-driven assessment of hydro climatic interactions shaping river discharge dynamics in a monsoonal basin by Prashant Parasar, Akhouri Pramod Krishna

“…The main findings of this study are (1) KAN demonstrated high predictive performance with root mean squared error (RMSE) values ranging from 42.7 to 58.3 m3/s, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) between 0.80 and 0.87, mean absolute error (MAE) between 28.9 to 52.7 and R2 values between 0.84 and 0.90 across stations. (2) SHAP based feature contribution analysis identified Relative humidity (hurs), specific humidity (huss), and temperature (tas) as key predictors, while (pr) showed limited contribution due to spatial inherent inconsistencies in GCM precipitation data. (3) The bootstrapped SHAP distributions highlighted substantial variability in feature importance, particularly for humidity variables, revealing station specific uncertainty patterns in model interpretation. (4) The KAN framework results indicate strong temporal alignment and physical realism, confirming KAN’s robustness in capturing seasonal discharge dynamics and extreme flow events under monsoon influence environments. (5) In this study KAN with SHAP (SHapley additive exPlanations) is implemented for hydrological modeling under monsoon-influenced and data-limited regions such as SRB, offering improved accuracy, functional precision and efficiency compared to traditional models. …”
