Reliable modeling for the rainfall-runoff processes embedded with high complexity and non-linearity can overcome the problems associated with managing a watershed. Physically based rainfall-runoff models need many realistic physical components and parameters which are sometime missing and hard to be estimated. In last decades the artificial intelligence (AI) has gained much popularity for calibrating the nonlinear relationships of rainfall–runoff processes. The AI models have the ability to provide direct relationship of the input to the desired output without considering any internal processes. This study presents an application of Multilayer Perceptron neural network (MLPNN) for the continuous and event based rainfall-runoff modeling to evaluate its performance for a tropical catchment of Lui River in Malaysia. Five years (1999-2013) daily and hourly rainfall and runoff data was used in this study. Rainfall-runoff processes were also simulated with a traditionally used statistical modeling technique known as auto-regressive moving average with exogenous inputs (ARMAX). The study has found that MLPNN model can be used as reliable rainfall-runoff modeling tool in tropical catchments. Â
