Fuzzy logic applied to prospecting for areas for installation of wood panel industries.

Journal of environmental management
Prospecting for suitable areas for forestry operations, where the objective is a reduction in production and transportation costs, as well as the maximization of profits and available resources, constitutes an optimization problem. However, fuzzy log...

A fuzzy-logic based decision-making approach for identification of groundwater quality based on groundwater quality indices.

Journal of environmental management
Due to inherent uncertainties in measurement and analysis, groundwater quality assessment is a difficult task. Artificial intelligence techniques, specifically fuzzy inference systems, have proven useful in evaluating groundwater quality in uncertain...

Predicting and communicating flood risk of transport infrastructure based on watershed characteristics.

Journal of environmental management
This research aims to identify and communicate water-related vulnerabilities in transport infrastructure, specifically flood risk of road/rail-stream intersections, based on watershed characteristics. This was done using flooding in Värmland and Väst...

Fuzzy logic-based assessment for mapping potential infiltration areas in low-gradient watersheds.

Journal of environmental management
This paper gives an account of the design a logic-based approach for identifying potential infiltration areas in low-gradient watersheds based on remote sensing data. This methodological framework is applied in a sector of the Pampa Plain, Argentina,...

Mapping real-time air pollution health risk for environmental management: Combining mobile and stationary air pollution monitoring with neural network models.

Journal of environmental management
Air pollution poses health concerns at the global scale. The challenge of managing air pollution is significant because of the many air pollutants, insufficient funds for monitoring and abatement programs, and political and social challenges in defin...

GIS Fuzzy Expert System for the assessment of ecosystems vulnerability to fire in managing Mediterranean natural protected areas.

Journal of environmental management
A significant threat to the natural and cultural heritage of Mediterranean natural protected areas (NPAs) is related to uncontrolled fires that can cause potential damages related to the loss or a reduction of ecosystems. The assessment and mapping o...

Predicting fecal sources in waters with diverse pollution loads using general and molecular host-specific indicators and applying machine learning methods.

Journal of environmental management
In this study we use a machine learning software (Ichnaea) to generate predictive models for water samples with different concentrations of fecal contamination (point source, moderate and low). We applied several MST methods (host-specific Bacteroide...

Enhancing photocatalytic degradation of hazardous pollutants with green-synthesized catalysts: A machine learning approach.

Journal of environmental management
The effective removal of organic pollutants from wastewater necessitates the development of advanced photocatalytic materials. This study explores the application of machine learning algorithms to predict the degradation efficiency of PRM using green...

Sustainable water allocation under climate change: Deep learning approaches to predict drinking water shortages.

Journal of environmental management
Addressing sustainable urban water supply has become one of the most critical challenges for modern megacities, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where rapid urbanization and climate change converge to exacerbate resource scarcity. Tehran, a...

Illuminating themes of ecovillages by leveraging participatory modeling: A convergent Gen-AI and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps approach.

Journal of environmental management
Ecovillages, as defined by the United Nations, are communities that focus primarily on aspects of sustainability. The research on ecovillages is vital, as it helps to uncover actionable artefacts of sustainable practices. However, much of the extant ...
