Risk Analysis of Earth-Rock Dam Failures Based on Fuzzy Event Tree Method.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Earth-rock dams make up a large proportion of the dams in China, and their failures can induce great risks. In this paper, the risks associated with earth-rock dam failure are analyzed from two aspects: the probability of a dam failure and the result...

Ecological Vulnerability Assessment Based on Fuzzy Analytical Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process in Yellow River Delta.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The Yellow River Delta (YRD), located in Yellow River estuary, is characterized by rich ecological system types, and provides habitats or migration stations for wild birds, all of which makes the delta an ecological barrier or ecotone for inland area...

Integrating river hydromorphology and water quality into ecological status modelling by artificial neural networks.

Water research
The aim of the study was to develop predictive models of the ecological status of rivers by using artificial neural networks. The relationships between five macrophyte indices and the combined impact of water pollution as well as hydromorphological d...

The Sustainable Development Assessment of Reservoir Resettlement Based on a BP Neural Network.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Resettlement affects not only the resettlers' production activities and life but also, directly or indirectly, the normal operation of power stations, the sustainable development of the resettlers, and regional social stability. Therefore, a scientif...

Abundance and Species Diversity of Fungi in Rivers with Various Contaminations.

Current microbiology
The main objective of this work was to determine the abundance and species diversity of fungi in the waters of selected rivers of Central Europe, NE Poland (Augustów Lakeland), differing in size, physical and chemical properties, and streamflow rate....

Multi-scale analysis of the relationship between landscape patterns and a water quality index (WQI) based on a stepwise linear regression (SLR) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) in the Ebinur Lake oasis.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Water quality is highly dependent on landscape characteristics. This study explored the relationships between landscape patterns and water quality in the Ebinur Lake oasis in China. The water quality index (WQI) has been used to identify threats to w...

Assessment of the water quality monitoring network of the Piabanha River experimental watersheds in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, using autoassociative neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Water quality monitoring is a complex issue that requires support tools in order to provide information for water resource management. Budget constraints as well as an inadequate water quality network design call for the development of evaluation too...

Identifying trace metal distribution and occurrence in sediments, inundated soils, and non-flooded soils of a reservoir catchment using Self-Organizing Maps, an artificial neural network method.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The Lancang-Mekong River is a trans-boundary river which provides a livelihood for over 60 million people in Southeast Asia. Its environmental security is vital to both local and regional inhabitants. Efforts have been undertaken to identify controll...

Extreme learning machines: a new approach for modeling dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration with and without water quality variables as predictors.

Environmental science and pollution research international
In this paper, several extreme learning machine (ELM) models, including standard extreme learning machine with sigmoid activation function (S-ELM), extreme learning machine with radial basis activation function (R-ELM), online sequential extreme lear...

Prediction of dissolved oxygen concentration in hypoxic river systems using support vector machine: a case study of Wen-Rui Tang River, China.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Accurate quantification of dissolved oxygen (DO) is critically important for managing water resources and controlling pollution. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been successfully applied for modeling DO content in aquatic ecosystems with lim...
