NEURAL NETWORK MODELING FOR WATER TABLE FLUCTUATIONS: A CASE STUDY ON HOSHANGABAD DISTRICT OF MADHYA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 60
Abstract
The accurate prediction of groundwater level is quite essential for ecological and sustainable development and management of groundwater resources. In this study artificial neural networks, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP) was used for predicting water tables in a selected aquifer system. The inputs for the ANN models consisted of rainfall, temperature and river stage and water table data. The ANN model was trained using gradient descent with momentum (GDM) algorithm. The predictive ability of ANN model was developed for each of the seven sites was evaluated using four statistical indicators (bias, RMSE, NSE and MSE) as well as visual examinations. Based on the results of this study, the neural network model was found to be efficient in predicting monthly water tables at almost all the sites. The study concluded that the neural network techniques can be efficiently used for predicting water table fluctuations, particularly in data-scarce conditions
