Multi-Objective Calibration Of A River Water Quality Model For The Elbe River, Germany
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing need to use river water quality models for the development of river basin management plans. Substantial uncertainties exist in the identification of river water quality models which partially relates to parameter uncertainties and the information content of calibration data. The specific objectives of this study were to i) assess the parameter identification] of a river water quality model using the Parameter Estimation Program (PEST), and ii) evaluate the dependencies between available calibration data and model prediction using a cross-validation procedure.

Modeling Climate and Management Change Impacts on Water Quality and In-Stream Processes in the Elbe River Basin
Eco-hydrological water quality modeling for integrated water resources management of river basins should include all necessary landscape and in-stream nutrient processes as well as possible changes in boundary conditions and driving forces for nutrient behavior in watersheds. The study aims to assess possible impacts of the changing climate (ENSEMBLES climate scenarios) and/or land use conditio...

ABSTRACT: In this study, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and feed forward neural network as two artificial intelligence-based models along with conventional multiple linear regression model were used to predict the multi-station modelling of dissolve oxygen concentration at the downstream of Mathura City in India. The data used are dissolved oxygen, pH, biological oxygen demand and water...
متن کاملDecision Support System for the Elbe River Water Quality Management
A decision support system (DSS) for integrated river basin management of the German part of the Elbe river basin is currently under development, which involves taking account water quantity, chemical quality and ecological state of surface waters. The Elbe is one of the largest river basins in middle Europe having multiple land and water use demands. A hierarchical approach was developed to mee...
متن کاملMulti-objective calibration and fuzzy preference selection of a distributed hydrological model
Multi-objective evaluation of distributed hydrological models enables an analysis of prediction behaviour of individual sub-systems within a catchment. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate an application of multi-response, multisite calibration strategy for a distributed hydrological model, so that model limitations can be identified and subsequently improved. The study was carried out for c...
متن کاملWater Quality Modelling in Rivers with Limited Observational Data: River Elbe Case Study
Water quality predictions in an ungauged catchment require the development of a model that is able to capture the basic physical features of the process and depends only on variables that are easily available. From this point of view, the model has similar requirements to those used in future climate scenario analysis. The mechanistic water quality model, developed in GKSS, Germany, for the pur...
