Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the potential of using neural network modelling for the prediction of the surface water quality index (WQI). An artificial neural network modelling has been performed using the physicochemical parameters (TDS, chloride, TH, nitrate, and manganese) as an input layer to the model, and the WQI as an output layer. The physicochemical parameters have been taken from five measuring stations of the river Warta in the years 2014-2018 via the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection (GIOŚ). The best results of modelling were obtained for networks with 5 neurons in the hidden layer. A high correlation coefficient (general and within subsets) 0.9792, low level of MSE in each subset (training, test, validation), as well as RMSE at a level of 0.624507639 serve as a confirmation. Additionally, the maximum percentage of an error for WQI value did not exceed 4%, which confirms a high level of conformity of real data in comparison to those obtained during prediction. The aforementioned results clearly present that the ANN models are effective for the prediction of the value of the Surface water quality index and may be regarded as adequate for application in simulation by units monitoring condition of the environment.

Water is one of the prime elements responsible for subsistence on the earth. The scarcity of potable water is gradually increasing with the increase in population. The surface water quality is a very crucial and sensitive issue and is also a great environmental concern worldwide. Surface water pollution by physical, chemical, radiological and biological contaminants can be considered as an epidemic at times, all over the world. The present research work aims at assessing the water quality index (WQI) in the surface water of Brahmani river basin in Odisha by monitoring five sampling locations. The surface water samples data were subjected to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis besides general parameters. The monthly water quality parameters were collected and analyzed from five selected gauging stations of Odisha during the months of January to December from 2011 to 2016. Eleven physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters viz. pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Electrical Conductivity(EC), Nitrogen as nitrate (Nitrate-N), Total Coli-form Bacteria(TC), Fecal Coli-form Bacteria(FC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Nitrogen as ammonia (NH4-N), Total Alkalinity (TA) as CaCO3, Total Hardness (TH) as CaCO3 were selected for the analysis. Analysis of water quality for Brahmani River is done by Water Quality Index (WQI). Prediction of water quality index is done by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN).  It is apparent from WQI values that Talcher and Panposh recorded the water quality as moderate to poor and nearly unsuitable during the years 2011-2016 indicating water as not safe for domestic purposes and needs treatment, the WQI values of Kamalanga ranged from good to poor and the WQI values of Aul and Pottamundai ranged from good to moderate. Eleven physico-chemical parameters were involved in this analysis as input variables and water quality index as output variable. Two models were proposed to identify the most effective model in an attempt to predict the WQI.  Correlation between the parameters was carried out to find out the significant parameters affecting WQI. The ANN developed was trained and tested successfully using the available data sets and the performance of ANN models were determined by coefficient of determination (R2) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Results show that ANN-1 gives the higher value of R2 in summer, monsoon and winter season (0.989, 0.976 and 0.959) and low RMSE (2.1865, 2.0768 and1.9657) as compared to that of the second model (ANN-2) which gives R2 value as 0.933, 0.945 and 0.943 and RMSE value as 2.8765, 2.5456 and 1.2745 for summer, monsoon and winter seasons respectively. Hence this study triggered the use of Artificial Neural Network to predict the Water Quality Index (WQI) rather than using the traditional WQI equation.

Groundwater quality monitoring in the vicinity of drilling sites is crucial for the protection of water resources. Selected physicochemical parameters of waters were marked in the study. The water was collected from 19 wells located close to a shale gas extraction site. The water quality index was determined from the obtained parameters. A secondary objective of the study was to test the capacity of the artificial neural network (ANN) methods to model the water quality index in groundwater. The number of ANN input parameters was optimized and limited to seven, which was derived using a multiple regression model. Subsequently, using the stepwise regression method, models with ever fewer variables were tested. The best parameters were obtained for a network with five input neurons (electrical conductivity, pH as well as calcium, magnesium and sodium ions), in addition to five neurons in the hidden layer. The results showed that the use of the parameters is a convenient approach to modeling water quality index with satisfactory and appropriate accuracy. Artificial neural network methods exhibited the capacity to predict water quality index at the desirable level of accuracy (RMSE = 0.651258, R = 0.9992 and R2 = 0.9984). Neural network models can thus be used to directly predict the quality of groundwater, particularly in industrial areas. This proposed method, using advanced artificial intelligence, can aid in water treatment and management. The novelty of these studies is the use of the ANN network to forecast WQI groundwater in an area in eastern Poland that was not previously studied—in Lublin.

Abstract The study aimed to assess the coastal surface water quality for irrigation purposes through the analysis of the water samples of some selected estuaries, rivers, and ponds. The analysis results showed that the mean value of typical water quality parameters like electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl−) ions exceeded the permissible limit of the Department of Environment (DoE), Bangladesh 2010, and FAO, 1985 for the pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The Piper diagram indicated a Na-Cl water type, especially during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The water quality parameters in the areas showed a higher amount than the standard permissible limits, indicating that the quality is deteriorating. The water quality index values for domestic uses showed very poorly to unsuitable in most of the surface waters except pond water, especially during the pre- and post-monsoon periods. The surface water quality index for irrigation purpose usages was found to be high and/ or severely restricted (score: 0–55) during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The study observed that due to saline water intrusion, the water quality deterioration started from post-monsoon and reached its highest level during the pre-monsoon season, which gradually depreciates the water quality in coastal watersheds of Bangladesh.
