Abstract: Design of hydrological data network depends not only on physical parameters but also uncertainty in volume and flow of rainfall and runoff. Bias in uncertainty level can’t be removed fully, hence use of artificial neural network (ANN) based on training of past dataset can provide useful insight in determination of optimal network. In this paper, an attempt has been made to use the power of soft computing in terms of ANN based analysis of rainfall data of Betwa river catchment. Genetic feed forward algorithm and sensitivity analysis of mean data was done in EXCEL based version of NeuroSolution Software. Minimum spatial error in rainfall values of catchment provided clues about location of stations.
