Abstract: Data driven approaches have the potential of becoming highly useful knowledge discovery tools when domain knowledge is incorporated into learning procedure. This research defines a Genetic Programming (GP) based conceptual modelling framework coded in an open source R environment to understand catchment scale hydrological processes. The state of the art applications of GP in hydrology involve the use of GP as a short-term prediction and forecast tool rather than as a modelling framework. In this study, GP simultaneously evolves suitable model structures and associated parameters in a readily interpretable form, that explain set of observations with the help of background knowledge. Thus evolved GP model configurations are found to be in good agreement with fieldwork evidence.
