摘要

Abstract

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models have been extensively applied in the prediction of water resource variables

and Geographical Information System (GIS) includes powerful functions to visualize spatial data. In order to provide an efficient tool for environmental assessment and management that combines the advantages of these two modules

a GIS-based ANN water quality prediction system was developed in the present study. The ANN module and ArcGIS Engine module

along with a dynamic database

were imbedded in the system

which integrates water quality prediction via the ANN model and spatial presentation of the model results. The structure of the ANN model could be modified through the graphical user interface to optimize the model performance. The developed system was applied to a real case study for the prediction of the total phosphorus concentration in the Lake Champlain area. The prediction results were verified with the monitoring data

and the performance of the developed model was further evaluated through graphical techniques and quantitative statistical methods. Overall

the developed system provided satisfactory prediction results

and spatial distribution maps of the predicted results were obtained

which coincided with the monitored values. The developed GIS-based ANN water quality prediction system could serve as an efficient tool for engineers and decision makers.
