A serial Grey Modle GM (1.1) for predicting sedimentation in Chaochu lake was established
and also
the principles of seletion of the length periods of GM (1.1) were suggested in this paper.IN considering the increasing tendency of soil erosion in the watershed for years
the model must be made to have a high accuracy than that of the nonlinear regression modeling in sedimentation prediction.Meanwhile
the variables to be predicted can not depend on any other stochastic ones
being more stuible for serial prediction than the non-linear regression modeling.Finally
this paper suggests some ways of controlling sedimentation in Chaohu lake.
