fuzzy water quality index (fwqi) was applied in order to assess the degree of drinking water resources in yazd province, iran. thisstudy has also offered the creation of a new fuzzy water quality index (fwqi) to evaluate this tool’s applicability. 12 chemicalparameters including toxic and non-toxic heavy metals measured in 71 groundwater samples collected from drinking water resourcesin rural a...

This paper proposes an ensemble of support vector regression and complementary neural networks to predict the Water Quality Index (WQI) for Tha Chin River, Nakhonpathom, Thailand. The data set was collected during the year 2002-2007. Four parameters are used in the prediction which are dissolved oxygen, total solid, biological oxygen demand, and suspended solid. It is found that an ensemble of ...

Introduction: The groundwater is the main resource of water. This study aimed to investigate water quality variations in the villages of AqQala in a eleven-year period as well as designing and implementing the Water Quality Index (WQI). Materials and Methods: In order to investigate water quality variations, the data in the villages of AqQala city was collected in an eleven-year period (2005-2...

Abstract The 2000 European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) states that “Member States shall ensure the necessary protection for bodies of water identified with aim avoiding deterioration in their quality order to reduce level purification treatment required production drinking water.” However, it does not specify how evaluate or quantify this treatment. We propose a novel index (WQI) prep...

Background & objectives: Irrigation water quality is a critical aspect of agricultural production especially in terms of human health and the environmental aspects. The aim of this study was to estimate the level of surface runoff and groundwater pollution used in the production of agricultural products in the south of Tehran. Methods: Sampling points included 14 points of surface water collec...

An Internet of Things (IoT) platform with capabilities of sensing, data processing, and wireless communication has been deployed to support remote aquatic environmental monitoring. In this paper, the design and development of an IoT platform with multiple Mobile Sensor Nodes (MSN) for the spatiotemporal quality evaluation of surface water is presented. A survey planner is proposed to distribute...
