Groundwater level prediction in a water basin plays a significant role in the management of groundwater resources. Aground water level forecasting system is developed in this study using Support vector Machines (SVM). Further Quantum behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) function is employed in this study to determine the SVM parameters. Later, the proposed SVM-QPSO model is used in determ...

Marrack, L., 0000. Incorporating groundwater levels into sea level detection models for Hawaiian anchialine pool ecosystems. Journal of Coastal Research, 00(0), 000–000. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. As sea levels rise, the distribution and community structure of coastal ecosystems are expected to change. In many coastal aquifers, fresher groundwater floats on top of denser saltwater...

in arid and semi-arid environments, groundwater plays a significant role in the ecosystem. in the last decades, groundwater levels have decreased due to the increasing demand for water, weak irrigation management and soil damage. for the effective management of groundwater, it is important to model and predict fluctuations in groundwater levels. in this study, groundwater table in kashan plain ...

In this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the Shabestar Plain, Iran. After initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (GA-BP) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

The chemical quality of groundwater in six district of the eastern region beneath the different types of land use areas of Ghana was examined to evaluate the effects of human activities on groundwater. Analyses indicate that groundwater in the studied area is fresh and generally suitable for most uses. The groundwater is generally characterised by a chemical facies of Ca-HCO3-, Na-Cl and mixed ...

COVER Partial view of the predictive map of high levels of arsenic in groundwater resources in China (blue, low probability; red, high probability; width, 600 kilometers; resolution, 1 square kilometer). Chronic arsenic poisoning from contaminated groundwater is a major health problem in many parts of China. An estimated 19.6 million people are potentially exposed to elevated arsenic concentrat...
