Abstract: Reconstruction and/or modification of an already existing fuzzy model with new data may improve system performances. As new data become available, adjusting the existing fuzzy rule-based model may present a challenging alternative to full model reconstruction. In this paper a fuzzy rule-based control model using a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy system is presented and a model modification algorithm is developed which improves the performance of the initial model as new data become available. Proposed approach is applied to a flood flow forecasting case example and the results are compared with those forecasted using initially available and reconstructed models. Results show that the modified model outperforms the initial FRB model. Reconstructed model performs slightly better than the modified model; however, the reconstruction may not be justified in a real time flood forecasting system, considering the limitations on the available lead time.
