Abstract: (1631 Views)
Qualitative assessment of coastal waters affected by seawater salinity can be done using the parameter of chloride in groundwater. This research proposes a supervised artificial intelligence committee machine (SAICM) method for accurate prediction of chloride concentration in groundwater of Sari plain. SAICM predicts chloride concentration as the output of the model by non-linear combination of artificial intelligence models. In this research, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was used to identify effective hydrochemical parameters related to chloride concentration as input components to artificial intelligence models. Based on the results of PCA, parameters (Na, K, EC, TDS, SAR) were selected as input components of artificial intelligence models. Firstly, four artificial intelligence models, Sogno fuzzy logic, Mamdani fuzzy logic, Larsen fuzzy logic and artificial neural network were designed to predict chloride concentration. Based on the modelling results, all the models showed a good fit with the chloride data in Sari Plain. Then, the combined SAICM model was built, which combines the prediction results of 4 separate AI models using the nonlinear ANN combiner and determines the chloride concentration more accurately. The results show that the proposed SAICM can estimate chloride concentration with much higher accuracy than individual methods.
