This study was aimed to investigate the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence techniques by using multilayer neural network. Levenberg–Marquardt back propagation (LMA) training algorithm was applied for calculating drinking water quality index (WQI) for Euphrates river (IRAQ). The transfer functions in the artificial network model were tangent sigmoid and linear for hidden and output layers, respectively. Eleven neurons presented for good prediction for results of (WQI) with a coefficient of correlation >0.97 and statistically calculated WQI values, inferring that the model predictions explain 94% of the variation in the calculated WQI scores. The WQI score of the Euphrates was 142 considered as poor. The analysis of sensitivity revealed that the total dissolved solids (TDS) is the highest effective variable with the relative importance of (26.3%), followed by electrical conductivity (EC) (23.1%), pH (17.3%), calcium (Ca) (0.149), chlorides (Cl) (11.2%), Hardness (5.7%), Temperature (1.3%), respectively. It can be concluded that the model presented in this study gives a useful alternate to WQI assessment, which use sub indices formulae.

With the rapid development of the regional economy, water pollution has gradually become an environmental problem that cannot be ignored. As an important water source in central China, the Han River should strengthen water quality monitoring and management in order to ensure the sustainable development of watershed and related areas. Taking typical sections of middle and lower reaches of the Han River as the study area, this paper focuses on rapid river water quality assessment using multispectral remote sensing images. Based on measured water quality data and synchronous spatial high and medium-resolution remote sensing data (multi-spectral data of ZY3 and HJ1A) in 2013, neural network algorithm is used to establish water quality index retrieval model for the study area, and then water quality status is assessed accordingly. The results show that BP neural network retrieval model of water quality index that is established based on multispectral data of ZY3 satellite has higher accuracy and that its assessment results are of high credibility and strong applicability, which can really reflect changes in water quality and better achieve water quality assessment for the study area. In addition, water quality assessment results show that major excessive factors in the study area are total nitrogen and total phosphorus; the polluting type is organic pollution; water quality varies greatly with seasons.

Water Resource Sustainability Management plays a vitally important role in ensuring sustainable development, especially in water-stressed arid regions throughout the world. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to study and monitor the water quality in the arid region of Central Asia, an area that is increasingly affected by climate change. In recent decades, the rapid deterioration of water quality in the Ebinur Lake basin in Xinjiang (China) has severely threatened sustainable economic development. This study selected the Ebinur Lake basin as the study target, with the purpose of revealing the response between the water quality index and water body reflectivity, and to describe the relationship between the water quality index and water reflectivity. The methodology employed remote sensing techniques that establish a water quality index monitoring model to monitor water quality. The results of our study include: (1) the Water Quality Index (WQI) that was used to evaluate the water environment in Ebinur Lake indicates a lower water quality of Ebinur Lake, with a WQI value as high as 4000; (2) an introduction of the spectral derivative method that realizes the extraction of spectral information from a water body to better mine the information of spectral data through remote sensing, and the results also prove that the spectral derivative method can improve the relationship between the water body spectral and WQI, whereby R2 is 0.6 at the most sensitive wavelengths; (3) the correlation between the spectral sensitivity index and WQI was greater than 0.6 at the significance level of 0.01 when multi-source spectral data were integrated with the spectral index (DI, RI and NDI) and fluorescence baseline; and (4) the distribution map of WQI in Ebinur Lake was obtained by the optimal model, which was constructed based on the third derivative data of Sentinel 2 data. We concluded that the water quality in the northwest of Ebinur Lake was the lowest in the region. In conclusion, we found that remote sensing techniques were highly effective and laid a foundation for water quality detection in arid areas.

This research deals with analyzing samples of water from the Euphrates River before and after (50m, 200m, 500m, and 1000m from the outflow)the power plant of AL-Musayyab. A Water Quality Index (WQI) analysis was performed, which is a helpful tool for rapid estimation of the quality of any water resource.. Water quality of  the river was classified into good, poor, very poor, and unsuitable for drinking, based on physico-chemical parameters such as pH, total hardness (TH), and concentrations of the major ions of calcium (Ca+2), sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg+2), potassium (K+), nitrate (NO3-2), sulphate (SO4-2), phosphate (PO4-2), and Chloride (Cl-), which indicate the extent of pollution. The study shows the deterioration of water quality, with the main candidate causes of being the direct discharge of the power plant into the river and high anthropogenic activities.
