Evaporation as a natural parameter due to the release of water from the upper part of mankind has always been of interest to scholars and researchers. In this study, we try to apply the artificial neural network model to estimate evaporation from the Amir Kabir dam and to evaluate the model accuracy. In this context, 18 years data from 1997 to 2014 were used and after consecutive try and error, the best structure for computing the amount of evaporation from the surface of the dam was selected. This structure has five neurons in the first, fourth and second layers that showed the best result in 1000 replications. Also, statistical coefficients obtained from the analysis using artificial neural network was considered in choosing the best structure with the amount of 0.9365 which was the highest amount among other tests and the amount of test and training data error were 0.0321 and 0.0311, respectively. In addition, general trend of effective data on evaporation was determined, using Mann-Kendall test on 15 years daily data. In Mann-Kendall method, temperature changes, wind speed and precipitation graphs had no significand trend and showed -1.69< U

Two factors of cost and time are related directly to the accurate estimate of runoff in the watersheds. More detailed information on the status of rainfall runoff also facilitate decisions on future programs for watershed managers, a step towards the preservation of natural resources for sustainable development. In this study, in order to achieve optimal amount of runoff in the Shafaroud watershed, first significant rainfall data of four stations during 1998 to 2011 were collected and combined with other maps of the study area, such as DEM, land use and soil as input data in the form of SWAT model was software. After running the model, the SUFI-2 and GLUE algorithms in SWAT-CUP program used to evaluate the data uncertainty and the most accurate simulation. The first three years (1998-2000) of rainfall data for warm-up and the next 7 years (2001-2007) for the calibration and final 4 years (2008-2011) were used for the validation. Finally, with multiple simulations, the uncertainty of the parameters assessed with P-factor, R-factor, and NS coefficients. The results indicated in runoff simulation, the SUFI2 algorithm ( =0.85, NS=0.74) is more accurate than GLUE algorithm ( =0.82, NS=0.71).
