Abstract Storage dams play a very important role in irrigation especially during lean periods. For proper regulation one should make sure the availability of water according to needs and requirements. Normally regression techniques are used for the estimation of a reservoir level but this study was aimed to account for a non-linear change and variability of natural data by using Gamma Test, for input combination and data length selection, in conjunction with Artificial Neural Networking (ANN) and Local Linear Regression (LLR) based models for monthly reservoir level prediction. Results from both training and validation phase clearly indicate the usefulness of both ANN and LLR based prediction techniques for Water Management in general and reservoir level forecasting in particular, with LLR outperforming the ANN based model with relatively higher values of Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficnet (R2) and lower values of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Biased Error (MBE). The study also demonstrates how Gamma test can be effectively used to determine the ideal input combination for data driven model development.
