In southeast Ohio, Raccoon Creek Watershed (RC) has an extensive mining history resulting in acid mine drainage (AMD) and subsequent environmental problems. Modeling of the discharge and chemistry, as well as an assessment of the impact of climate change in discharge and chemistry of AMD, impacted Hewett Fork, a tributary of Raccoon Creek, is the focus of this thesis. Discharge measurements are collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station at the Bolin Mills (BM) station on the main stem of Raccoon Creek. This data for the period 2011-2019 has been analyzed to develop a prediction model for BM discharge, in addition to assessing the impact of climate change on BM flow event under two climate scenario (RCP4.5 and RCP 8.5) and subsequently use the model to predict flow and water chemistry in Hewett Fork. Precipitation, antecedent precipitation index (API), and air temperature were the input variables considered in this study for transient data analysis using the program PAST, and additional variable such as antecedent temperature index (ATI), and potential evapotranspiration (ET) for modeling studies using Artificial Neural Networks (program NeuroShell2). The result of the transient data analysis highlighted the quick flow, baseflow of the watershed, delay time, and total response time. The immediate response time (zero-day lag) of BM discharge following API, in addition to its strong spectrum signal (0.22Hz), indicates a strong influence of API on BM discharge. The Neural Network Model using group method of data handling (GMDH) and generalized regression neural network (GRNN) shows a variation of prediction models for BM due to parameters such as decay factor in API and ATI, as well as in the evapotranspiration input variables of the model. However, the study reveals that the GRNN model for BM is the most suitable for BM prediction based on its performance, with an r-value greater than 0.90, and its ease in predicting discharge by specifying a data set to be added to the data set for training and calibrating the network. The result of the water chemistry model using GMDH, with r values greater than 0.80 for each model, shows the input variables have a good capacity to predict chemical concentration/load in the HF stream. Five climate model projections for the future periods 2020-2039, 2040-2059, 2060-2079, and 2080-2099 were analyzed in this study to simulate three flow events(high, low, and intermediate flow) in BM. The flows simulated by the GRNN model in response to the future climate model projections showed a consistent increase in low flow and high flow and a decrease in intermediate flow for all future time intervals.t

R. S. GOVINDARAJU and ARAMACHANDRA RAO School of Civil Engineering Purdue University West Lafayette, IN. , USA Background and Motivation The basic notion of artificial neural networks (ANNs), as we understand them today, was perhaps first formalized by McCulloch and Pitts (1943) in their model of an artificial neuron. Research in this field remained somewhat dormant in the early years, perhaps because of the limited capabilities of this method and because there was no clear indication of its potential uses. However, interest in this area picked up momentum in a dramatic fashion with the works of Hopfield (1982) and Rumelhart et al. (1986). Not only did these studies place artificial neural networks on a firmer mathematical footing, but also opened the dOOf to a host of potential applications for this computational tool. Consequently, neural network computing has progressed rapidly along all fronts: theoretical development of different learning algorithms, computing capabilities, and applications to diverse areas from neurophysiology to the stock market. . Initial studies on artificial neural networks were prompted by adesire to have computers mimic human learning. As a result, the jargon associated with the technical literature on this subject is replete with expressions such as excitation and inhibition of neurons, strength of synaptic connections, learning rates, training, and network experience. ANNs have also been referred to as neurocomputers by people who want to preserve this analogy.

Prepared by the Water Supply Engineering Technical Committee of the Infrastructure Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This report examines the application of artificial neural network (ANN) technology to water supply engineering problems. Although ANN has rarely been used in in this area, those who have done so report findings that were beyond the capability of traditional statistical and mathematical modeling tools. This report describes the availability of diverse applications, along with the basics of neural network modeling, and summarizes the experiences of groups of researchers around the world who successfully demonstrated significant benefits from using ANN technology in water supply engineering. Topics include: Forecasting salinity levels in River Murray, South Australia; Predicting gastroenteritis rates and waterborne outbreaks; Modeling pH levels in a eutrophic Middle Loire River, France; and ANNs as function approximation tools replacing rigorous mathematical simulation models for analyzing water distribution networks.

Modelling water quality within complex, man-made and natural environmental systems can represent a challenge to practitioners. Many conventional modelling tools are not capable of representing the complexities of physical and chemical processes often observed in these systems. Consequently, there has been a great deal of interest in the application of computational intelligence techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, "black-box" approaches, such as ANN modelling, are often criticised due to a perceived lack of transparency in the model development methodology. This research has therefore focussed on improving the tools and techniques that are used in the development of ANN models for water quality prediction and forecasting.
