This study addresses the challenges of selecting relevant climate parameters and optimizing model complexity for precise forecasting. Four models, based on Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BI-LSTM) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks, were compared, focusing on their ability to predict monthly precipitation using diverse inputs such as mean temperature, relative humidity, sea level pressure, radiation, precipitation change, and 12 climate indices. One significant challenge was determining the most impactful subset of input variables from a large dataset to enhance model performance without overfitting. To address this, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) feature selection algorithm was employed, significantly improving model accuracy by identifying the optimal subset of input variables. The comparative analysis revealed that PSO-based models consistently outperformed those using all input variables, with the PSO-RBF model achieving a Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) value of up to 0.80 during testing. Notably, both PSO-BI-LSTM and PSO-RBF models demonstrated strong performance in predicting precipitation peaks, achieving KGE values of 0.74. The study highlights the efficacy of the RBF model combined with PSO, which optimizes fewer parameters compared to the more complex BI-LSTM network while reducing input variables. This approach is not only less computationally intensive but also easier to implement, particularly in regions with limited instrumentation. These findings suggest that the PSO-RBF model is a reliable and efficient tool for monthly precipitation prediction in challenging environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34143,"journal":{"name":"Water Cycle","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 82-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be achieved by utilizing various techniques, including well testing, well logging techniques, reservoir modeling, and analytical approaches. This research focused on a suite of diagnostic plots—X-plots, Chan's plots, and traditional water cut vs. time linear plot techniques—which are recognized as the simplest, most cost-effective techniques for identifying water production mechanisms. The study's findings confirmed the presence of water production issues in all the wells under investigation. Traditional water cut vs. time linear plots indicate that water coning is the major mechanism of excessive production in all wells except for two wells, indicating near-wellbore water channeling and the presence of high conductive zones. Conversely, Chan's plots suggested that the main mechanism is multilayer channeling through fractures and/or high-permeability zones except for two wells, which exhibit near-wellbore water channeling. These results are further supported by X-plot analysis, which revealed that two of the four selected wells have a layering system, while the other wells exhibit a linear slope or no layering system. Over 110 million barrels of water have been produced, posing a significant environmental challenge due to the potential for substantial pollution.

Operational data from 20 municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in 2023 were analyzed to assess water quality parameters, treatment efficiencies, and hydraulic load rates. Results indicate the seasonal variation in hydraulic load rates, probably affected by heavy rainfall during the rainy season, which posed operational challenges for WWTPs.

The study also explored the future potential of reclaimed water in Puyang, highlighting opportunities to increase utilization rates to 30% by 2025 through enhanced infrastructure and technological innovations.

By providing valuable insights into sediment dynamics and reservoir capacity loss, the findings of this study seek to inform and guide future management strategies for the Akhangaron reservoir and similar water management systems.
