Abstract
Data-driven models for the prediction of lake eutrophication essentially rely on water quality datasets for a longer duration. If such data are not readily available, lake management through data-driven modeling becomes impractical. So, a novel approach is presented here for the prediction of eutrophication indicators, such as dissolved oxygen, Secchi depth, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, in the waterbodies of Assam, India. These models were developed using water quality datasets collected through laboratory investigation in artificially simulated lake systems. Two artificial prototype lakes were eutrophied in a controlled environment with the gradual application of wastewater. A periodic assessment of water quality was done for model development. Data-driven modeling in the form of multilayer perceptron (MLP), time-delay neural network (TDNN), support vector regression (SVR), and Gaussian process regression (GPR) were utilized. The trained model's accuracy was evaluated based on statistical parameters and a reasonable correlation was observed between targeted and model predicted values. Finally, the trained models were tested against some natural waterbodies in Assam and a satisfactory prediction accuracy was obtained. TDNN and GPR models were found superior compared to other methods. Results of the study indicate feasibility of the adopted modeling approach in predicting lake eutrophication when periodic water quality data are limited for the waterbody under consideration.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
