groundwater quality assessment using artificial neural network: a case study of bahabad plain, yazd, iran

چکیده
groundwater quality management is the most important issue in many arid and semi-arid countries, including iran.artificial neural network (ann) has an extensive range of applications in water resources management. in this study,artificial neural network was developed using matlab r2013 software package, and cl, ec, so4 and no3 qualitativeparameters were estimated and compared with the measured values, in order to evaluate the influence of key inputparameters. the number of neurons in the hidden layer was obtained by the trial-and-error method. for this purpose, datafrom 260 water samples of 13 wells in bahabad plain were collected during 2003- 2013. the results show that theperformance of ann model was more accurate for cl (r=0.96), ec(r=0.98), and so4(r=0.95), using back-propagationalgorithms according to the best chosen input parameters. it was observed that the use of ann model for no3 was notvery accurate, perhaps this was because of the different water sources or the impact of other parameters; thus, this result isin contrast with the study of diamantopoulou et al. (2005). however, this study confirms that the number of neurons inthe hidden layer cannot be found using a specific formula (double the number of inputs plus one) for all parameters butcan be obtained using a trial-and-error method.

متن کاملForecasting of heavy metals concentration in groundwater resources of Asadabad plain using artificial neural network approach
Nowadays 90% of the required water of Iran is secured with groundwater resources and forecasting of pollutants content in these resources is vital. Therefore, this research aimed to develop and employ the feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) to forecast the arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) concentration in groundwater resources of Asadabad plain. In this research, the ANN models we...
