Contemporarily, the quick development of an abundant amount of big data analysis technologies has brought great convenience to individuals' everyday existence. In terms of environmental protection, especially water pollution monitoring, this technological progress is particularly critical. As the global demand for clean water resources grows and global industrialization intensifies pollution of the water environment, the adoption of advanced data analysis technologies has become critical. Among the vast array of machine learning architectures, three particularly stand out due to their significance and widespread adoption: the artificial neural network (ANN), which serves as a foundational pillar in understanding complex data patterns; the multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), a sophisticated evolution that allows for deeper computations and learning; and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which brilliantly combines neural and fuzzy logic principles for intricate problem solving. These models not only have high accuracy due to their wide application, but they still have their own limitations. This article aims to introduce the methods, basic principles, and application scenarios of these models. In addition, this article also compares the advantages and limitations of these machine learning models, thereby providing some new ideas for future improvements and innovations in model algorithms, application scenarios, and integration.
