Artificial neural network modeling for predicting the quality of water in the Sabak Bernam River

Abstract

Water <span>quality prediction is aided by environmental monitoring, ecological sustainability, and aquaculture. Traditional prediction approaches capture the nonlinearity and non-stationarity of water quality well. Due to their rapid progress, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a hotspot in water quality prediction in recent years. ANNs are utilised in this study to predict water quality using soft computing techniques. The feedforward network and the standard back-propagation method of Levenberg-Marquardt and scaled conjugate gradient learning algorithm were employed in this research. One hidden layer has been recommended for the modelling, with the number of hidden neurons set at 3, 24, and 49. For this analysis, six different testing percentages were used, and the output data can be categorised as '0' for clean water and '1' for polluted water. From the results, it can be shown that the most optimised model was from the model of trainlm with a testing percentage of 18% and with 3 number of neurons. This most optimised model obtains an accuracy of 91.7%, the best validation performance of 0.073346 with 24 epochs, and having a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve that is closer to the true positive rate compared to other samples.</span>

Smart measurement and monitoring system for aquaculture fisheries with IoT-based telemetry system

“…In Indonesia, the modernization of fisheries, especially freshwater needs to be done to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of aquaculture media and techniques. Fishery techniques such as aquaculture require the application of appropriate technology to be able to monitor optimally in helping fishery operators or farmers [3]- [5]. Therefore a monitoring system is needed so that it can detect unhealthy water in real-time [6]- [10].…”

Low-cost colorimetric setup for concentration measurement of manganese ions based on optical absorbance

“…Based on the principles that lights with different wavelength have different absorption towards different color of solution, the amount of analyte being measured can be quantified [3]. The use of the above-mentioned instruments are popular in various field of water quality assessment to detect a variety of water quality parameter [4], [5], which includes heavy metal ions (HMI) detection in water industries [6]- [9]. Apparently, one of the crucial heavy metal ions is manganese,  ISSN: 2088-8708 Int J Elec & Comp Eng, Vol.…”
