Water quality prediction plays a crucial role in both enterprise management and government environmental management. However, due to the variety in water quality data, inconsistent frequency of data acquisition, inconsistency in data organization, and volatility and sparsity of data, predicting water quality accurately and efficiently has become a key problem. This paper presents a recurrent neural network water quality prediction method based on a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) framework. The gate recurrent unit (GRU) model is used as an encoder and decoder, and a factorization machine (FM) is integrated into the model to solve the problem of high sparsity and high dimensional feature interaction in the data, which was not addressed by the water quality prediction models in prior research. Moreover, due to the long period and timespan of water quality data, we add a dual attention mechanism to the seq2seq framework to address memory failures in deep learning. We conducted a series of experiments, and the results show that our proposed method is more accurate than several typical water quality prediction methods.

Water Quality Prediction

Water environmental Internet of Things (IoT) system, which is composed of multiple monitoring points equipped with various water quality IoT devices, provides the possibility for accurate water quality prediction. In the same water area, water flows and exchanges between multiple monitoring points, resulting in an adjacency effect in the water quality information. However, traditional water quality prediction methods only use the water quality information of one monitoring point, ignoring the information of nearby monitoring points. In this paper, we propose a water quality prediction method based on multi-source transfer learning for a water environmental IoT system, in order to effectively use the water quality information of nearby monitoring points to improve the prediction accuracy. First, a water quality prediction framework based on multi-source transfer learning is constructed. Specifically, the common features in water quality samples of multiple nearby monitoring points and target monitoring points are extracted and then aligned. According to the aligned features of water quality samples, the water quality prediction models based on an echo state network at multiple nearby monitoring points are established with distributed computing, and then the prediction results of distributed water quality prediction models are integrated. Second, the prediction parameters of multi-source transfer learning are optimized. Specifically, the back propagates population deviation based on multiple iterations, reducing the feature alignment bias and the model alignment bias to improve the prediction accuracy. Finally, the proposed method is applied in the actual water quality dataset of Hong Kong. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can make full use of the water quality information of multiple nearby monitoring points to train several water quality prediction models and reduce the prediction bias.

The current global water environment has been seriously damaged. The prediction of water quality parameters can provide effective reference materials for future water conditions and water quality improvement. In order to further improve the accuracy of water quality prediction and the stability and generalization ability of the model, we propose a new comprehensive deep learning water quality prediction algorithm. Firstly, the water quality data are cleaned and pretreated by isolation forest, the Lagrange interpolation method, sliding window average, and principal component analysis (PCA). Then, one-dimensional residual convolutional neural networks (1-DRCNN) and bi-directional gated recurrent units (BiGRU) are used to extract the potential local features among water quality parameters and integrate information before and after time series. Finally, a full connection layer is used to obtain the final prediction results of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and potassium permanganate index (COD-Mn). Our prediction experiment was carried out according to the actual water quality data of Daheiting Reservoir, Luanxian Bridge, and Jianggezhuang at the three control sections of the Luan River in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, from 5 July 2018 to 26 March 2019. The minimum mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of this method was 2.4866, and the coefficient of determination (R2) was able to reach 0.9431. The experimental results showed that the model proposed in this paper has higher prediction accuracy and generalization than the existing LSTM, GRU, and BiGRU models.

In smart mariculture, traditional methods are not only difficult to adapt to the complex, dynamic and changeable environment in open waters, but also have many problems, such as poor accuracy, high time complexity and poor long-term prediction. To solve these deficiencies, a new water quality prediction method based on TCN (temporal convolutional network) is proposed to predict dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and pH. The TCN prediction network can extract time series features and in-depth data features by introducing dilated causal convolution, and has a good effect of long-term prediction. At the same time, it is predicted that the network can process time series data in parallel, which greatly improves the time throughput of the model. Firstly, we arrange the 23,000 sets of water quality data collected in the cages according to time. Secondly, we use the Pearson correlation coefficient method to analyze the correlation information between water quality parameters. Finally, a long-term prediction model of water quality parameters based on a time domain convolutional network is constructed by using prior information and pre-processed water quality data. Experimental results show that long-term prediction method based on TCN has higher accuracy and less time complexity, compared with RNN (recurrent neural network), SRU (simple recurrent unit), BI-SRU (bi-directional simple recurrent unit), GRU (gated recurrent unit) and LSTM (long short-term memory). The prediction accuracy can reach up to 91.91%. The time costs of training model and prediction are reduced by an average of 64.92% and 7.24%, respectively.

Water quality monitoring plays a vital role in the water environment management, while efficient monitoring provides direction and verification of the effectiveness of water management. Traditional water quality monitoring for a variety of water parameters requires the placement of multiple sensors, and some water quality data (e.g., total nitrogen (TN)) requires testing instruments or laboratory analysis to obtain results, which takes longer than the sensors. In this paper, we designed a water quality prediction framework, which uses available water quality variables (e.g., temperature, pH, conductivity, etc.) to predict total nitrogen concentrations in inland water bodies. The framework was also used to predict nearshore seawater salinity and temperature using remote sensing bands. We conducted experiments on real water quality datasets and random forest was chosen to be the core algorithm of the framework by comparing and analyzing the performance of different machine learning algorithms. The results show that among all tested machine learning models, random forest performs the best. The data prediction error rate of the random forest model in predicting the total nitrogen concentration in inland rivers was 4.9%. Moreover, to explore the prediction effect of random forest algorithm when the independent variable is non-water quality data, we took the reflectance of remote sensing bands as the independent variables and successfully inverted the salinity distribution of Shenzhen Bay in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. According to the experimental results, the random forest-based water quality prediction framework can achieve 92.94% accuracy in predicting the salinity of nearshore waters.

<abstract><p>In the field of intensive aquaculture, the deterioration of water quality is one of the main factors restricting the normal growth of aquatic products. Predicting water quality in real time constitutes the theoretical basis for the evaluation, planning and intelligent regulation of the aquaculture environment. Based on the design principles of decomposition, recombination and integration, this paper constructs a multiscale aquaculture water quality prediction model. First, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method is used to decompose the different water quality variables at different time scales step by step to generate a series of intrinsic mode function (IMF) components with the same characteristic scale. Then, the sample entropy of each IMF component is calculated, the components with similar sample entropies are combined, and the original data are recombined into several subsequences through the above operations. In this paper, a prediction model based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is constructed to predict each recombination subsequence, and the Adam optimization algorithm is used to continuously update the weight of neural network to train and optimize the prediction performance. Finally, the predicted value of each subsequence is superimposed to predict the original water quality data. The dissolved oxygen and pH data of an aquaculture base were collected for prediction experiments, the results of which show that the proposed model has a high prediction accuracy and strong generalization performance.</p></abstract>
