Most of surface water ways in Egypt suffer from the infestation of aquatic weeds especially submerged ones which cause lots of problems for the open channels and the water structures such as increasing water losses, obstructing the water flow, and reducing the efficiency of the water structures. Accurate simulation of the water flow behavior in such channels is very essential for water distribution decision makers. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely utilized in the past ten years in civil engineering applications for the simulation and prediction of the different physical phenomena and has proven its capabilities in the different fields. The present study aims towards introducing the use of ANN technique to model and predict the impact of the existence of submerged aquatic weeds on the hydraulic performance of open channels. Specifically the current paper investigates utilizing the ANN technique in developing a simulation and prediction model for the flow behavior in an open channel experiment that simulates the existence of submerged weeds as branched flexible elements. This experiment was considered as an example for implementing the same methodology and technique in a real open channel system. The results of current manuscript showed that ANN technique was very successful in simulating the flow behavior of the pre-mentioned open channel experiment with the existence of the submerged weeds. In addition, the developed ANN models were capable of predicting the open channel flow behavior in all the submerged weeds' cases that were considered in the ANN development process.

This paper describes the background and the development of a hydrologic network flow model. The model was development to simulate daily water demand and supply for selected stream reaches within a watershed, and used as a tool for evaluating, simulating, and planning a water resources system. The proposed network flow model considers daily runoff from subareas, various water demands, and diversion structures within each subarea. Daily streamflow at a reach is simulated after balancing the water demands from subareas. The lateral inflow from subareas is simulated using a modified tank model. Total water demands consist of the daily demands for agricultural, domestic, industrial, livestock, fishery, and environmental uses within a rural district. The return flow, diversions from sources and storage components such as reservoirs were also incorporated into the mode l . The developed model is a generalized version that may be applied to different combinations of river reaches for a given system. This may help potential users identify areas where water supply does not suffice the demands for different time horizons.

In this study, a model was developed to predict for Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) generated in water supply networks and consumer premises, before and after the introduction of advanced water purification facilities. Based on two-way ANOVA, which was carried out to statistically verify the water quality difference in the water supply network according to introduce the advanced water treatment process. The water quality before and after advanced water purification was shown to have a statistically significant difference. A multiple regression model was developed to predict the concentration of DBPs in consumer premises before and after the introduction of advanced water purification facilities. The prediction model developed for the concentration of DBPs accurately simulated the actual measurements, as its coefficients of correlation with the actual measurements were all 0.88 or higher. In addition, the prediction for the period not used in the model development to verify the developed model also showed coefficients of correlation with the actual measurements of 0.96 or higher. As the prediction model developed in this study has an advantage in that the variables that compose the model are relatively simple when compared with those of models developed in previous studies, it is considered highly usable for further study and field application. The methodology proposed in this study and the study findings can be used to meet the level of consumer requirement related to DBPs and to analyze and set the service level when establishing a master plan for development of water supply, and a water supply facility asset management plan.

This study is to investigate the effect of C factor errors on the analysis of water distribution systems. For this purpose, an artificial distribution network and a real distribution network were selected as the study networks. Results are as follows. 1. The C factor of a pipe which has small velocity didn't give significant effect on the analysis of a water distribution system. 2. The effect of decreased value of C factors give more influence on the analysis of water distribution systems than that of the increased values. 3. For the C factor calibration, errors of the residual water heads as well as those of the head losses should be considered together. 4. In the analysis of water distribution systems, changes of C factors can give influences only on the nodes which locate behind the pipe. Therefore, this characteristics should be considered in the selection of nodes for the measurement of water heads.

평창강 수질자동측정망 실시간 자료를 이용하여 강우시와 무강우시로 구분하여 분석하였다. 강우시에 측정된 TOC 자료는 무강우시 측정된 자료에 비해 평균값, 최대값, 표준편차가 크게 나타났으며, 강우시의 DO 자료는 무강우시에 측정된 자료보다 낮아 유량이 수질변화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 신경망 모형과 뉴로-퍼지 모형으로 수질예측 모형을 구성하고, 적용하였다. LMNN, MDNN, ANFIS 모형은 TOC 모의에서 DO 예측에서는 LMNN, MDNN 모형이 ANFIS 모형보다 좋은 결과를 보였으며, 정량적 자료에 정성적 자료인 시간을 학습한 MDNN 모형이 가장 작은 오차를 보였다. 하천의 실시간적 관리를 위해서는 유량과 수질의 측정이 동일한 지점에서 동시간적으로 이루어져야 보다 효과적이다. 그러나 수질자동측정망 지점과 T/M 수위관측소가 원거리에 위치한 경우들이 있으며, 평창강 수질자동측정망 지점이 그 중 하나이다. 연구에서는 평창강 수질자동측정망 지점의 유출예측을 위한 신경망 모형을 구성하여 수질예측 모형과 연계하였으며, 연계된 모형은 수질예측에 개선된 결과를 보였다.

The hydraulic theory of the models was analyzed. Each model's numerical techniques, required parameters, input data and operational methodologies, restrictions, practical applicability and other aspects were investigated. In order to check the validity of Brebbia model, the comparative analysis with EPANET, WaterCAD, and InfoWorks models was performed for linear and nonlinear cases. To find out advantages and disadvantages of each model, the modeling was performed for a simple network and for more complicated A city waterworks system, and the three models applicability was examined. Finally, optimal modeling technique and a model suitable for the use in Korea was suggested, and the problems related to present projects of waterworks management system in Korea were analyzed.

This study was carried out to evaluate the artificial neural network algorithm for water quality forecasting in Chungju lake, north Chungcheong province. Multi-layer perceptron(MLP) was used to train artificial neural networks. MLP was composed of one input layer, two hidden layers and one output layer. Transfer functions of the hidden layer were sigmoid and linear function. The number of node in the hidden layer was decided by trial and error method. It showed that appropriate node number in the hidden layer is 10 for pH training, 15 for DO and BOD, respectively. Reliability index was used to verify for the forecasting power. Considering some outlying data, artificial neural network fitted well between actual water quality data and computed data by artificial neural networks.
