Runoff forecast with high precision is important for the efficient utilization of water resources and regional sustainable development, especially in the arid area. The monthly runoff of Changmabao (CMB) station has an upwards trend and an abrupt point in 1998. The impact factor analysis shows that it is highly correlated with the current precipitation and temperature in the wet season while the previous runoff and previous global land temperature in the dry season. Three models including the time-series decomposition model, the model based on teleconnection coupled with the support vector machine, and the model based on teleconnection coupled with the artificial neural network are used to predict the runoff of CMB station. An indicator β is constructed with the correlation coefficient (R) and mean relative deviation (rBias) to evaluate the model performance more conveniently and intuitively. The results suggest that the model based on teleconnection coupled with the support vector machine preforms best. This forecasting method could be applied to the management and dispatch of water resources in arid areas.
