Photodegradation is a major fate process...

It is crucial to forecast the water demand accurately for supplying efficiently and stably in a supply system. In particular, forecasting short-term helps saving energy reducing operating costs. With introduction of Smart Water Grid (SWG) system, amount consumption obtained real-time through smart meter, which can be used demand. The models widely include Autoregressive Integrated Moving Averag...
