Abstract
ABSTRACT Stormwater surcharge events are unavoidable above a certain rainfall intensity. Thus, for protection and damage mitigation, forecast systems are of outstanding importance. This study develops an ensemble forecast system (EFS) to predict the beginning and end of sewer surcharge events. It applies a nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (NARX) network to each member of the ensemble, making it suitable for real-time predictions. The fundamental idea is the forecast of water depth time series within manholes based on the given rainfall. The novelty lies in the consideration of uncertainty through the ensemble structure for which the numbers of neurons in the hidden layer, the weights, and biases are considered to be uncertain. The results are evaluated based on observed values captured within the uncertainty band ), and the width of the band ). The varied between 74% and 94% and the between 1.36 and 10.68.
期刊介绍:
Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management.
Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include:
network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation;
novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system;
demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control;
stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management;
monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater;
water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure);
resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing;
data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems;
decision-support and informatic tools;...
