Study on reservoir optimal operation based on coupled adaptive ε constraint and multi strategy improved Pelican algorithm

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The optimal operation of reservoir groups is a strongly constrained, multi-stage, and high-dimensional optimization problem. In response to this issue, this article couples the standard Pelican optimization algorithm with adaptive ε constraint methods ...

Potential health risk and levels of heavy metals in water resources of lead–zinc mining communities of Abakaliki, southeast Nigeria

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2020
Heavy metals are potential health risk, especially in mining sites where they deteriorate from sulfide-rich ore bodies. Lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury are very carcinogenic, while others are toxic.

A hybrid variational mode decomposition and sparrow search algorithm-based least square support vector machine model for monthly runoff forecasting

open access: yesWater Supply, 2022
Monthly runoff forecasting has always been a key problem in water resources management. As a data-driven method, the least square support vector machine (LSSVM) method has been investigated by numerous studies in runoff forecasting.

A Brief Review of Random Forests for Water Scientists and Practitioners and Their Recent History in Water Resources

open access: yesWater, 2019
Random forests (RF) is a supervised machine learning algorithm, which has recently started to gain prominence in water resources applications. However, existing applications are generally restricted to the implementation of Breiman’s original algorithm ...
