Abstract
En 中文
Prediction of suspended sediment load (SSL) in streams is significant in hydrological modeling and water resources engineering. Development of a consistent and accurate sediment prediction model is highly necessary due to its difficulty and complexity in practice because sediment transportation is vastly non-linear and is governed by several variables like rainfall, strength of flow, and sediment supply. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches have become prevalent in water resource engineering to solve multifaceted problems like sediment load modelling. The present work proposes a robust model incorporating support vector machine with a novel sparrow search algorithm (SVM-SSA) to compute SSL in Tilga, Jenapur, Jaraikela and Gomlai stations in Brahmani river basin, Odisha State, India. Five different scenarios are considered for model development. Performance assessment of developed model is analyzed on basis of mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), determination coefficient (R2), and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (ENS). The outcomes of SVM-SSA model are compared with three hybrid models, namely SVM-BOA (Butterfly optimization algorithm), SVM-GOA (Grasshopper optimization algorithm), SVM-BA (Bat algorithm), and benchmark SVM model. The findings revealed that SVM-SSA model successfully estimates SSL with high accuracy for scenario V with sediment (3-month lag) and discharge (current time-step and 3-month lag) as input than other alternatives with RMSE = 15.5287, MAE = 15.3926, and ENS = 0.96481. The conventional SVM model performed the worst in SSL prediction. Findings of this investigation tend to claim suitability of employed approach to model SSL in rivers precisely and reliably. The prediction model guarantees the precision of the forecasted outcomes while significantly decreasing the computing time expenditure, and the precision satisfies the demands of realistic engineering applications.
