Abstract

The prevention of water-borne diseases requires the disinfection of water consumed. Disinfection by-products, however, are an increasing concern, and they require advanced knowledge of water treatment plants before their release for human consumption. In this study, multivariate non-linear regression (MNR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS: Grid partition - GP and Sub-clustering - SC) integrated with particle swarm optimization (PSO) were proposed for the prediction of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in actual distribution systems. PSO-ANFIS-GP and PSO-ANFIS-SC were trained and verified for a total of 64 sets of data with eight parameters (pH, Temperature, UVA, DOC, Br; NH-N; NO-N, residual free chlorine). With MNR, R is 0.5184
