Abstract

Predicting Water Quality Parameters in a Complex River System

Highlights

  • Rivers have been the most utilized natural water source due to their availability and accessibility; this has prompted the growth of civilization and industries close to river banks (Mustafa et al, 2017)

  • As for scheme 1, we found that the R2 score of train data for all water quality parameters is more than 0.80, which signifies a satisfactory result in predicting the train data

  • The values of six water quality parameters, i.e. dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and suspended solids (SS) of station 1 were predicted by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model

Summary

Introduction

Rivers have been the most utilized natural water source due to their availability and accessibility; this has prompted the growth of civilization and industries close to river banks (Mustafa et al, 2017). Water quality monitoring and prediction allows a manager to identify a suitable option that satisfies a wide range of conditions. The water parameters such as turbidity, electrical conductivity and dissolved solids in water, for example, describe a complex process controlled by ecological, hydrological and hydrodynamic factors that operate at a wide range of spatiotemporal scales (Najah et al, 2009). The water quality index (WQI) analysis of rivers is a popular topic in physical
