Particularly addressed in this paper is the potential of water systems models and modeling to facilitate a transition to planning for long-term sustainable lives of sustained quality. Anent “longer term”, for simplicity we consider both a typical period of family memory, for instance from 1880 to 2100, or 220 years, about seven or eight generations, as well as the anthropocene millenia. After setting down background definitions and introducing the underlying issues, we review key population and well-being trends, attitudes, and impacts, citing acknowledged experts. How, where, and when population and economic decline will occur is not covered; the paper rather suggests implications for water resources engineering and for water management modeling, even if the transition will be patchy in space and time. Confronting imminent degrowth, significant revisions of current water modeling practice are suggested: planned, phased, orderly removal of projected and existing urban development and drainage infrastructure and, for instance and where applicable, systematic restoration of keystone ecology and natural hydrology. Whether the imminent degrowth era will persist is uncertain, evidently. Also alluded to is degrowth’s countervailing assurance of improved well-being, providing more time for individuals to further their personal interests.

Questions raised and the answers given at the presentation are included in the appendix to this paper.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135318848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to develop and improve predictive models, different perspectives have been presented in its modeling. Hydrological processes can be confidently modeled with the help of artificial intelligence techniques. In this study, the runoff of the Leilanchai watershed was simulated using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and M5 model tree methods and their hybrid with wavelet transform. Seventy percent of the data used in the train state and thirty percent in the test state were collected in this watershed from 2000 to 2021. In addition to daily and monthly scales, simulated and observed results were compared within each scale. Initially, the rainfall and runoff time series were divided into multiple sub-series using the wavelet transform to combat instability. The resultant subheadings were then utilized as input for an ANN and M5 model tree. The results demonstrated that hybrid models with wavelet improved the ANN model's daily accuracy by 4% and its monthly accuracy by 26%. It also improved the M5 model tree's daily and monthly accuracy by 4% and 41%. The wavelet-M5 model's accuracy does not diminish to the same degree as the wavelet-ANN (WANN) model as the forecast horizon lengthens. Consequently, the Leilanchai watershed has a relatively stable behavior pattern. Finally, hybrid models, in conjunction with the wavelet transform, improve forecast accuracy.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135685807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nitrite, nitrate, and total oxidized N (nitrite+nitrate) were monitored from April 2018 to August 2019. Plug flow reactors and continuously stirred tank reactors in series models were implemented to explore N behavior in the river system. The results indicated that the total oxidized N decreased over the first half of the study period, then was followed by a high rate of nitrate production. These findings are also supported by changes of the river flow rates, dissolved oxygen, pH, and chemical oxygen demand. The models have the capacity to simulate N dynamics, with varied prediction errors. Root mean squared errors between measured and predicted nitrite, nitrate, and total oxidized N concentrations were 0.118, 2.595, and 2.560 g m-3, respectively, for the PFR model, while these values were 0.05, 0.175 g m-3, and 0.176 g m-3, respectively, for the CSTRS model. The correlation coefficients were 0.012, 0.925, and 0.922 for nitrite, nitrate, and total oxidized N, respectively, when the PFR model was applied. These values were 0.92, 0.99, and 0.99, respectively, after the application of the CSTRS model. Obtained results revealed that the modeling approach can provide a useful framework to improve understanding of N dynamics, which helps to develop mitigation strategies for sustaining water quality in the Tigris River.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66655163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling surface water quality using artificial intelligence-based models is essential in projecting suitable mitigation measures; however, it remains a challenge and requires further research to enhance the modeling accuracy. Because of the serious effects of low water quality, a faster and less expensive solution is required. With this motivation, this research explores a series of supervised machine learning algorithms to estimate the water quality. The objective of this study is to assess the surface water quality of the Daya watercourse to determine the optimal procedure to measure quality of drinking water. Samples were collected from designated locations throughout different seasons (winter, summer, rainy) over a period of five years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020). Total dissolved solids, pH, alkalinity, chloride, nitrate, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, iron, fluoride, were all tested, as well as total coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli. Through this decision tree regression model, accuracy of prediction is 93.77%. This is a significant result, indicating that the decision tree-based approach has the potential to be a useful tool for surface water quality prediction. However, it is important to note that there may be limitations and uncertainties in the model, and further research and validation may be required to improve the accuracy and dependability of forecasts. The catastrophic consequences of poor water quality, as well as the need for faster and less expensive technologies for testing water quality, are the driving factors in this study. The study's findings can help to improve knowledge of water quality in the Daya watercourse and enhance the decision-making processes to ensure safe drinking water.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135559718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a geomorphological and semi-distributed model which is used to predict the hydrological behaviour of watersheds and to calculate the water storage deficit of an aquifer in any location. It uses topographic information of the watershed to predict the extent of contributing areas in the production of runoff. TOPMODEL was applied with event-based rainfall–runoff modeling where 13 hourly rainfall series were used to predict the discharge at the basin outlet. A digital elevation model (DEM) was also used to define the contours of the basin and to map out the drainage directions and the topographic index. TOPMODEL was calibrated and validated using the measured discharges and various objective functions such as Nash (Nash-Sutcliffe) and coefficient of determination (R2). The TOPMODEL results showed a high-performance level. Indeed, after the calibration and validation procedure, the performance of the model oscillates between satisfactory and very good. For the calibration, Nash varied between 0.59 and 0.91, and R2 between 0.66 and 0.91. However, the values of these criteria coefficients were slightly reduced during the validation phase, Nash (0.53 to 0.84) and R2 (0.59 to 0.87). Also, the proposed model shows the weak contribution of groundwater flows in the hydrological response of the study area.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66654756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this study was to develop an understanding of the spatiotemporal patterns of nitrate distribution in the Tigris River through an integrated approach using hydrological data, physicochemical parameters, and model-based analysis. Eighty-four monthly sampling campaigns from forty monitoring locations along the Tigris River were carried out from January 2011 to December 2018. Obtained results demonstrated that the NO3- dynamics were strongly correlated with the length of transport distance and flow rates along the river system (p < 0.05). High flow rates in the upper courses of the river system favored physical transport of NO3- and promoted a dilution effect. However, low flow rates in the lower sections favored the accumulation processes of NO3- and promoted a concentration effect. High concentration of 7.0±1.96 g NO3- m-3 was observed in February 2018 downstream in the river. No significant seasonal effect in NO3- concentrations were observed. These results were supported by the changes in dissolved oxygen concentration and pH in the river system and indicated high nitrification rates and elevated NO3- accumulation, particularly downstream in the river. This modeling approach has also confirmed field observations of NO3- dynamics with 65% of the variances in the river system being explained by the model.","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66654930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the calibration of bioretention model parameters using MUSIC software to treat polluted runoff in a tropical climate. The bioretention model was simulated based on a pilot study at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) engineering campus to evaluate the flow rate and pollutant’s reduction performance. Two stages of calibration were conducted, with the first stage to calibrate the inflow and pollutant concentrations, and the second stage to further calibrate the k-C* model to fit the experimental results. The validation of the model was done using the percentage bias between modeled and experimental data to evaluate the accuracy of bioretention modeling using MUSIC software. Overall, the accuracy of this model increased after calibration and can be accepted, as the performance of bioretention models for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus removal percentage are good or very good (-13%, -4%, and -39% respectively), whereas the flow rate reduction is satisfactory (17%).","PeriodicalId":43297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Management Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66654766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
